The Open Range

Creativity comes in all forms—from art, music, your voice, the instruments you play, the cupcakes you bake, the sweater’s you knit, gardening. It doesn’t matter what it comes in—it’s the ‘act of doing’ that is creation and that is one of the most liberating labels to give yourself is to say you’re ‘creative’. Then you can bring that into every aspect of your life and when you weave beauty into your life— that’s living. In this week’s episode, I’m joined by the soulful and multifaceted creative Nica Draws Nature, as we dive into what it truly means to live as a creative. We explore the paradox of niching, the rhythm of the herd, and how nature continues to be a mirror for inner growth and expression. Nica shares her personal journey with creativity—from the quiet moments with horses that revealed new truths, to the expansive flow state that fuels her art, to the path of publishing her first book.This one is for the artists, the sensitives, the seekers—those who feel most alive when they’re connected to something wild and true.You can see more of Nica's work hereIf you resonated with this episode and wanted to share your key takeaways, connect with Rochelle hereThank you for being here.
