When creativity meets carnivore: free energy, fear, and the courage to experiment

What do mandalas, menopause, carnivore eating, and creative courage have in common?

More than you think.

In my latest Substack article, I unpack my conversation with Vicki E. Stergiannis — educator, art therapist, creative firecracker, and unapologetic carnivore — and the thread that ran through it all:

👉 Passion isn’t random.
👉 Curiosity isn’t silly.
👉 That flame you feel? It’s not an accident.

We talk about:
– Letting go of performative creativity
– The “dance with the universe” instead of forcing outcomes
– Mandalas as a path back to wholeness
– Perimenopause, protein, and questioning nutrition dogma
– Sugar cravings, fasting, and whether moderation is actually a myth for some of us
– The courage to experiment with your own life

This isn’t a “try this diet” article.

It’s a conversation about agency.
About listening to your body.
About acting on creative impulses before fear talks you out of them.

And yes — we go there on fibre.

If you’re midlife, mid-pivot, mid-questioning-everything… this one is for you.
