Ever feel like creativity is only for painters and writers? Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis, life coach and hypnotherapist, joins us to explore creativity as a mirror for identity and self-discovery.
From a hard childhood in Switzerland to decades of travel, Elisabeth shares how creativity taught her that showing up matters more than talent, and how that shift changes your relationship with yourself.
About the Guest:
Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis is a Swiss-born life coach and hypnotherapist. A former tour guide and conference interpreter of seventeen years, she hosts the podcast Most Memorable Journeys and has authored two books.
Key Takeaways:
- Creativity isn't talent, it's practice. Start with one small step instead of waiting to feel ready.
- Journal your worries onto paper, then let them go. It's a simple way to release what weighs on you.
- Discomfort often means you're growing, not failing.
- Create from self-expression, not approval, if you want to stop caring what others think.
