Description

Happiness through Creating is a podcast designed to help you experience deeper happiness by awakening to your innate ability to create. Through timeless principles of creation, each episode explores how we shape abilities, relationships, ideas, and meaning—while courageously facing the opposition that refines us. Learn to see opposition as essential to growth and joy, and step fully into your role as a conscious, intentional creator of a purposeful and fulfilling life. Whatever you’re creating—relationships, family, career, or business—this podcast is for you. www.creatorsopposition.com
