This podcast is about exploring investigative heresy through the confines of limitation and the expansive oceans of wonder.
My greatest skill isn’t in the doing—it’s in the seeing.
After a decade as an adventure photographer and brand strategist, I realized that the most important structures in our lives are the ones we cannot see. This podcast is my auditory headquarters for that vision: a place for the deconstruction and analysis of the narratives we live by, whether they are found in business, love, religion, or the way we relate to our own souls.
My goal is to find the wisdom hidden within the boundaries of the human experience.
This podcast isn't designed to be niche. It's designed to showcase my perspective on life. I hope you enjoy.
One last note. I'm not here to be your guru, my intention with this is to share what I see, and to let that be enough.

When you have to produce, it’s easy to lose the desire to create. Your ultimate job as an artist is to protect your connection to that endless creative well—and remind the rest of the world that the magic exists. #CreativeJourney #FullTimeCreative #ArtistsLife #CreativeBurnout #ArtAndBusiness #FindYourMagic #CreativeMotivation #ArtisticMi...

S2EP10: Your Truth vs. The Truth
What is the difference between objective reality and our emotional experiences? In this quick podcast, I talk about the distinction between "The Truth" and "Your Truth." If you've ever dealt with gaslighting or found yourself in relationships where people try to rewrite reality, understanding this concept is a game-changer. It’s not about making other people wrong; it's about finding your own alignment, setting healthy boundaries, and taking accountability for how you show up in the world. ...

S2EP7: The Identity Shift, Life Enrichment Guide
If you’ve been in my orbit this last decade, you know I've had many titles; graphic designer, adventure photographer, coach for creatives etc.. the list goes on. Many of you know me personally and have told me I should step into positions of therapy or life coaching, but that hasn't felt quite right to me. Ive spent the last 5 years mulling over what to call myself. Our western society LOVES labels, because we love to classify, which I respect, but I am so much more than what I do. I...

In this episode, I’m opening up about the internal tug-of-war I’m feeling as I transition into a consulting role with my new Creative Audits.

In this episode, I’m diving into all things manifestation—what it actually is, how I personally came to believe in it, and the way I use it in my life today.

Resistance, Enlightenment, and what do we do with them?
This one is definitely going to require you to be neurodivergent to keep up. Maybe not, but we’re all over the map in this episode. I talk about my experience with resistance and how I utilize it to acquire my dreams. I also get into my experience with “enlightenment” (maybe thats what it was?) Along with a few other esoteric concepts. Posing the question of how do we hold these concepts with duality. Sit by the wood-stove with me while I move through these thoughts. I would love to ...

Hey everybody, it’s me, Holly. Forget about me? I wouldn't blame you—I haven't posted a podcast episode since 2020. This episode is the "grand catchup" on what’s been happening with my career and my life over these last five years. I’m diving into where I’ve been—from the fast-paced photography world to deep therapeutic healing—where I am now in the Canadian Rockies, and where I’m hoping to go with this new chapter of Creative Auditing. I’m also opening the doors for this show to be about mor...
