The Truth About Creativity, Confidence & Being an Artist (A Deep, Honest Conversation)

Описание: Have you ever met someone you barely know but instantly feel deeply connected to?
In this episode of The Art of a Meaningful Life, Carmen Davailus sits down with artist and podcaster Hava Gurevich for a raw, inspiring, and often funny conversation about creativity, vulnerability, confidence, and what it really means to live a meaningful life.

This is more than an artist interview — it’s a deep dive into the courage it takes to create, the fear of being seen, and the quiet magic of following your own creative path.

Together, we explore:
⚫︎ The surprising connection between art, intuition, and healing
⚫︎ How artists find (and lose) their voice over time
⚫︎ Why vulnerability is essential for creative growth
⚫︎ The pressures of social media, going viral, and being judged
⚫︎ How creativity connects us — to ourselves, to others, and to the world
⚫︎ The struggle of balancing creativity with business
⚫︎ How art becomes a spiritual practice and a tool for transformation

Whether you’re an artist, creative entrepreneur, photographer, painter, or someone longing to reconnect with your creativity, you’ll find encouragement and clarity in this deeply personal conversation.

🌸 Creative inspiration
🌸 Honest talk about the artist journey
