#133 Creativity Is Presence: How Archetypes Unlock Healing & Self-Expression with An Marshall

In this deeply reflective conversation, Vanessa Soul sits down with archetypal coach, artist, and Soul Collage facilitator Ann Marshall to explore creativity as a spiritual practice, archetypes as mirrors for consciousness, and why artistic expression is not a talent reserved for a few but a birthright for all.

Ann shares her personal journey of reclaiming creativity after years of suppression, addiction, and self-doubt, revealing how art became a pathway to healing, wholeness, and purpose. Together, Vanessa and Ann explore how archetypes operate through light and shadow, how creativity activates presence and receptivity, and why many people resist artistic expression not because they lack creativity, but because it reveals something honest and powerful within them.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your inner artist, understand the archetypes shaping your life, and remember that your creative voice carries wisdom the world needs.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why creativity is about presence, not performance

• How archetypes function as both a mirror and a map for transformation

• The difference between vision boards (intention) and Soul Collage (revelation)

• How the Seeker, Healer, and Artist archetypes show up in light and shadow

• Why resistance, self-criticism, and frustration often appear when creativity awakens

• How five minutes a day of creative expression can unlock flow and healing

• The role of receptivity and trust in higher creative expression

• How archetypes intersect with astrology and the 5th house of creativity

• Why withholding your creative voice is a disservice to the collective

In this episode of The Power & Purpose Podcast, Vanessa Soul sits down with Chris Eaton — Death Doula, spiritual guide, veteran, and co-owner of Trinity Yoga Wellness Center — to explore what it truly means to face death in order to embrace life.

Chris opens up about his journey through trauma, addiction, and a near-death experience that became the catalyst for profound awakening. Together, they dive into the intersections of theology, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom to uncover how acceptance, forgiveness, and breathwork can transform pain into peace.

This conversation is a reminder that we are not here just to survive — we are here to awaken, to connect, and to live with purpose and love.

Highlights:

1. The Root of All Pain

2. Twenty-Four Therapists, No Healing

3. Discovering the Power of Acceptance

4. Forgiveness as the Ultimate Medicine

5. Freedom Beyond Self-Hatred and PTSD

Love isn’t something you earn, it’s who you are. In this conversation with somatic therapist, author, and speaker Megan Sherer, we unpack self-sourced love, the limits of talk therapy, attachment styles, core wounds, and practical somatic tools to ground, heal, and choose yourself.

• Why love must start within before it’s mirrored by others

• How trauma and unhealthy relationships catalyze awakening

• The ceiling of talk therapy & why the body is required for change

• Attachment styles vs. earned secure attachment

• Somatic + grounding practices (including Havening) you can use today
