Description

Your Creative Chord Podcast
Empowering Your Creative Flow & Inspired Living


Welcome to Your Creative Chord, the podcast for people who want to reconnect with their creativity, restore their energy, and live with greater intention. I’m Jenny Leigh Hodgins—creative empowerment coach, author, poet, pianist, composer, and longtime teacher and mentor.


Each episode offers practical tools and thoughtful guidance to help you rebuild trust in your creative process. Together we explore ways to navigate creative blocks, recover from burnout, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate creative flow and inspired living with curiosity, clarity, and self-compassion.


Drawing from 30+ years of teaching, performing, composing--as well as my experience as a caregiver, and my SGI Buddhist practice--I share insights that support sustainable creativity, authentic self-expression, and a more inspired way of living.
