You are deeply creative & heart-centered and you have BIG DREAMS. You’re a visionary: here to help create the world as it could be, not merely consume or accept it as it is.
You’re not here to be narrowed down into one medium of creation and prefer to weave together your multiple gifts and passions. You hate the idea that you’re supposed to “pick one”. Because of your insistence on integrity and service — you’re a natural way-shower for your community (in ways you may not even realize).
Recently, you’ve felt a strong pull to dive even deeper into your creativity. You feel the power of your ideas to make a loving impact on others and attract the soul-aligned community you dream of. You’ve identified and made progress on soul-aligned projects: creating from the deepest part of you rather than from other people’s expectations of you.
The universe has given you signs and synchronicities to confirm that you are onto something magical: something bigger is unfolding through and for you. Is this what alignment feels like?
You want more of that feeling. Alignment. Purpose. Connection. Flow.
But let's be real: the beasts and shadows of procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt loom large. It's not that you lack dedication; it’s that sometimes the fear of not being good enough creeps in, freezing your creativity in its tracks. And sometimes it feels really hard to find time and space to create, on top of your day job / other responsibilities!
Your sensitivity makes you a natural artist, but it also makes the fear of failing, the discomfort of being a beginner, and the terror of being judged, seen, or cancelled, that much more terrifying, and at times unbearable, to you.
As a visionary, the SIZE and scope of your dreams and projects can also feel so big that it overwhelms you. Knowing how much you want to do in this lifetime can at times block you from even trying. It ends up feeling like you have SO many ideas and projects, and you are not necessarily where you want to be on most of them.
You've done the work and devoured the wisdom of podcasts, books, and videos. You can feel that you’re ready for more. You can feel a new level of PURPOSE trying to unlock within you: where your human being and human doing align. You are done playing small and hiding from your gifts. You refuse to minimize yourself or your dreams any longer. You see people just as talented as you attracting opportunities you know could be available to you, too, if you devoted yourself to the path.
You want a dose of their bravery and AUDACITY — you’ve already seen solid glimpses of it within yourself, you just need more momentum to help it build to where you know it could be.
Most importantly: You’re ready to make a loving impact on the people you are here to serve (which could be your inner child). You are ready to embody and live your purpose by taking aligned, inspired action on your goals.
You’re ready for a breakthrough. You’re ready to unblock your creative flow, and finally step into your full creative potential. It’s time to turn the sparks of possibility into the fire of actualized projects. It’s time to alchemize fear, perfectionism, overwhelm, and self-doubt into divine, loving, radically self-accepting creation. It’s time to honor your creative calling through aligned action and the systems and rituals that support it.
You are deeply heart-centered and creative.
You have Big Dreams to live an abundant life rooted in Creativity.
But at times, fear, perfectionism and self-doubt block you from taking the steps you know you need to to get there.
What if instead, it could feel like this?
So, I have a question for you: what if tapping into your creativity didn't have to feel like a daunting task?
What if instead, it could feel like this…
Imagine sitting down to create, already feeling deeply connected and aligned with your inner vision, thanks to meditations designed for creators and artists of all kinds
Before you even start, you’ve cleared your mind and silenced the inner critic, allowing your ideas to flow freely and your intuition to lead the way. You regulate your nervous system before creating, tapping into a deeper state of consciousness
You connect to your heart chakra to move yourself from a place of ego to a place of love and service — who needs perfectionism when the point is to serve love?
You have a coach beside you, in your ears and on your screen, providing the right words of encouragement and the exact mindset adjustments needed just before you dive into your work
Even on days when you feel off or disconnected, you realign your energy and focus, ensuring that you can always create from a place of alignment and purpose
You have the comfort of knowing that when doubt creeps in, you have uplifting pep talks designed for heart-centered artists just like you, bringing you back to your own power and wisdom
You channel vivid and impactful creations in moments of inspired flow and your work becomes more RESONANT because it is grounded in your deepest self (SOUL) rather than fear and perfectionism (EGO)
Sunshine: I’m here to tell you — it CAN feel like that.
This is my reality, and all it takes is embracing the practice of slowing down + receiving loving, bold activation tailored to unlock your inner artist

😍
your pre-game ritual 🚀 your pep talk ✨ your loving reminder 😍
Consider this your pre-game ritual, ensuring you're not just ready but eager to start creating. This is a pathway to overcoming the internal barriers that stand between you and your creative projects.
Think about it:
Athletes don't just jump into a match or game without a warm-up and a motivational pep talk from their coach and captain
Yogis don’t dive into challenging postures without first grounding themselves on the mat
Singers don’t take the stage without vocal exercises to warm up their voices
Flowers open gradually at dawn, warming up to the day with the rising sun to fully bloom at the right moment
…and you, as a divine creator ✨, DESERVE the same moment of preparation and alignment — a grounding, loving pause — before you dive into doing your most meaningful creative work. Because we are here to let our souls express freely — and that takes feeling GROUNDED, CALM, and SAFE rather than overwhelmed, scattered, and dysregualted
Creative Activations provides this essential grounding through guided meditations that act as your personal warm-up coach for creativity:
Motivational Boost: Like an athlete’s (loving!) coach, each meditation pours loving encouragement into you, energizing you and focusing you on the task ahead, grounding you in your WHY and reminding you you are worthy of creating NO MATTER WHAT comes up (recovering perfectionists, unite!)
Centering and Grounding: Similar to a yogi in child’s pose to start off their practice, these meditations help center and ground your practice, bringing focus to the present moment and opening up a space for a moment of introspection and calm. This allows you to prepare emotionally and mentally for the practice ahead — a soft and gentle opening rather than going 0 to 100!
Stress Reduction: In general, meditation helps lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress. By reducing stress, meditation dampens the fight-or-flight response governed by the sympathetic nervous system. This allows the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes calmness and rest, to take a more dominant role — allowing you to do your best work. These meditations are TAILORED to the creative process.
This is not a course that asks you to take notes and study, but a transformative ritual that actively dissolves barriers like fear and procrastination through guided meditations designed specifically for service-oriented, loving creators. It re-connects you to your OWN creative power and wisdom. This program fits into that familiar gap between wanting to take action and ACTUALLY taking it.
This experience is specifically designed for conscious creators who are ready to MOVE but need a little boost before doing so — making it ideal for creatives who feel blocked and are seeking a deep, immediate transformation in their creative process.
is this for you?
Creative Activations is tailor-made for you if you’re any ONE of the following…
A Heart-Centered Creator: You create or strive to create from a place of love — towards yourself, the collective, and/or the earth. You want your creations to be in integrity and alignment.
Deep Thinker and Feeler: You engage deeply with your creative process, thinking and feeling through every step, sometimes so much so that you find yourself stuck in research and analysis mode & unable to move forward.
Struggling with Creative Blocks: You’ve experienced the frustration of sitting down to create, only to feel blocked by fear, procrastination, perfectionism, or lack of inspiration.
Expander: You are always looking to expand and grow — and you help others do the same (with and without knowing it!). You value transformative experiences and you are always seeking to go deeper (conversations, experiences, realizations, creations).
Aspiring to Consistency: You want to be more consistent in your creative endeavors, finding a rhythm that allows you to lovingly produce meaningful work more regularly, while rejecting machine-like standards rooted in capitalist understandings (devotion > discipline)
Anti-Capitalist Creation: You seek to hold yourself with love and compassion, resisting the capitalist pressure to “hustle” and treat yourself like a machine. You don’t think all creativity needs to be publicized or monetized (at the same time, you do see the power of doing so when it’s in alignment and service).
Appreciate Guidance: While you definitely value the time to go inward, you appreciate guided exercises that help you tap deeper into your creative psyche. You are seeking more creative collaboration, mentorship, and community
Spiritual Seeker: You view your creativity as inextricably tied to your spiritual awakening and path; not merely a set of tasks to get done but a deeper calling that connects you to the mystery and magic of the universe

The big WHY behind this program
This program is born from my own experiences as a creative who battles insecurity every single day. Is this good enough? Will I get cancelled for this video? Am I letting my audience down because this episode isn’t as good as the last? Who am I to have a podcast?
People often remark that from my videos that I seem “fearless”. What tells a different story? The many tears shed not feeling good enough, unshared drafts that felt unworthy, sleepless nights afraid of a video being terribly received, dreadful experiences with hate comments leading to fearful, watered down expression, unfinished and un-started projects out of the fear of how big and scary they felt…
Who knows what some of those ideas could have offered to the world, had I loved myself enough to know that I’m eternally worthy and divine, and been brave enough to share them despite my fear. This program is born out of this question.
It is also born out of my firm belief that creativity is the gateway to us building a loving, liberated world. Building such a world requires each of us fully in our most loving creative power. However, when our inner artists are blocked by the shame and fear of our conditioning, the collective possibilities we can create become far less potent. How do we liberate the brave, loving artist in each of us?
Through my own experiences, I've developed a system that alchemizes fear into love and allows bold creation to take root. The rituals I've crafted fill the space between fear and action, fueling some of my most impactful recent work. From this liminal space emerges the Creative Activations method: tailored meditations and loving pep talks designed to ignite and enhance YOUR creative process. I am doing this for you, and I am also doing it for the GLORIOUS IDEAS that seek to be expressed through you.
Several questions bring my Big WHY to life further:
What are you here to help cause, and how might this offering support you, like water nourishing a seed?
What if this offering could help nurture more ideas into existence that might not have otherwise been given a chance?
Who am I to not at least try and bring this vision to life?
I hope you will join me on this mission and vision to birth a vibrant forest of loving ideas to life in order to re-make and recreate the World, one project at a time.
Other worlds are possible. To bring them into being, we need to liberate our deepest creativity and imaginations from the cages of shame, fear, perfectionism, self-doubt, creative isolation, and more.
More importantly, we have to upend all the toxic systems that ensure suffering, isolation, oppression, and climate catastrophe.
And what will we build instead? Only the creative voice within us can answer that question. We have to free it.
where you are vs. where we’ll go
From:
Jumping into your creative practice while feeling unsettled/dysregulated and unconfident in your ideas and your abilities — causing you to create from fear and perfectionism (“nothing ever feels good enough!”)
To:
Implementing a calming pre-creation ritual that emboldens you, lifts you up, and grounds your emotions, creating a secure and inspiring launchpad for your creative practice
From:
Avoiding your creative projects out of fear and resistance, and not having a reliable way to respond. Struggling to maintain creative momentum when you do get started, leading to unfinished projects.
To:
Harnessing specific meditative practices that help dissolve your fears & keep the creative energy flowing to ensure projects are not just started but also joyfully completed.
From:
Feeling blocked at times by self-doubt; doubting the impact and value of your ideas and your ability to bring them to life.
To:
Receiving loving wisdom that reinforces the purpose and importance of your work, boosting your creative confidence.

My name is Ayanda and I’m a creative full of fear — and full of love, service, passion, and dreams.
I never saw myself as a creative person, until the label of being a TikTok “creator” unlocked a whole new identity for me. Since then, I’ve grown my combined audience to over 400,000 wonderful souls, alchemized my (again, fearful) dream of having a podcast into reality, and learned how to face and overcome the fear I face regularly in my creative process — including in this offering you are experiencing right now.
In my journey navigating through fear and resistance, I’ve experienced a powerful shift and transformation that I can only call alchemy. I’ve moved from avoiding my fear to connecting to and accepting it as part of me. It’s linked to my sensitivity, it wants to keep me safe, and it is tied to the deep love and alignment I want to manifest through me and my work.
I’ve learned that grounding myself BEFORE creating is a critical step in the creative process that I had been short-changing myself on. I’d love to guide you through the ritual I have been playing with and playing through for the past year — one that has led to some of my most watched and resonant podcast episodes & YouTube videos.
Like all works forged through the fire of fear releasing, I remind myself: If this could help just one person, I have to try. This is me trying. I hope you’ll join me.
Soulful Content Creator
I am a full-time podcaster & content creator and have grown a deeply soul-aligned audience of over 400,000 people across multiple platforms.
I would love to teach YOU how you can alchemize fear to bring your dream projects to life.
Spiritual Guide & Coach
My deepest calling on this earth is to be loving and wise and share that loving wisdom with others.
I am a Certified Spiritual Life Coach & Dharma (Soul Purpose) Coach. Staying connected to love, purpose & service is the foundation of everything I do.
I would love to serve as YOUR brdige between spirituality and creativity, helping you along your healing journey through the power of purpose, service, love, and intuition.
Biz Baddie
I have an MBA from Harvard Business School and worked in corporate for 3 years in management consulting, before pivoting into a far more aligned, soulful, creative path.
I carry the lessons from these chapters of my life, mostly: I am a dreamer and a do-er (a Generator in Human Design), blending strategy with spirituality and energetics. I have learned to integrate the flow of the feminine with the structure of the masculine, and for me, my soul-aligned business (nourishing content + coaching + courses) has been the vessel to me living my dharma (soul’s purpose) daily. I literally love my life and I want this feeling for all of us.
I would love to help YOU take aligned action on your deepest calling and visions, and create a life of more purpose and alignment.

The loving answer to that is no it will not. But it will help you hold fear with more love and wisdom, and provide more courage to alchemize fear into action. Your fear can teach you so much, and if you simply got rid of fear, you’d lose a lot with it (such as a core part of your humanity).
Our fear is evolutionarily designed to keep us safe, protecting us from danger and uncertainty. It is an unavoidable part of our lives, and therefore, our creative process. The question is, what can you learn to do with it instead? These meditations will help you answer this question.

I am sending you love, and want to note that this experience is not a substitute for professional psychological support. If you are experiencing deep challenges, it is crucial to seek assistance from a licensed mental health professional. Please prioritize your mental well-being and consult a healthcare provider for guidance tailored to your specific needs if needed. If you feel this work might re-traumatize you in any way, given that the meditations aim to address fear which is often tied to our deepest wounds, please protect yourself in the way that feels most aligned by not participating in this offering. I hope future experiences will be able to support you.

No. The fears that come up are related across creative mediums. I am a multi-passionate creator: video is my main platform, but I also write, LOVE graphic design, and play with dance, singing, and fashion. Importantly, I view relationships as CRITICAL and core creative spaces of our lives — we are always deciding how to relate to each other and ourselves (often in ways outside our control). Our creativity can be limitless, and the spiritual lessons transcend the mediums of creation.
Just as popular books on creativity have supported millions of people without being limited to one specific creative medium, there are deeply common threads through the creative process of all crafts.
But if you are looking for specific creative advice or feedback on your craft itself, and how to overcome how fear specifically shows up in that medium, this may not be a supportive or generative experience for you. Trust your intuition on whether you think this experience will support your journey.
