What if your creativity wasn’t just something you do, but something you are?

In this powerful episode, Natalie is joined by mixed media artist and spiritual creative Amelia Furman for a conversation that moves beyond art and into the soul of being. Together, they explore what it means to live and work with your spirit fully integrated—especially in a world that tells us to compartmentalize.

Amelia shares her path from performance-based validation to soul-centered creation—and how inviting God into her art and business changed everything. From the buzzing halls of the Warehouse Innovation Hub in Loveland to early-morning rituals and big questions about purpose, the episode dives deep into what it means to create with intention and release the need to have it all figured out.

🌀 Your Invitation
Let this episode be more than background noise.

Ask yourself:
✨ Where have you been performing instead of creating?
✨ Where are you still trying to earn your worth instead of being it?
✨ What would it feel like to not know what’s next—and trust anyway?

Today, carve out space to be instead of hustle.
Journal. Make something messy. Sit in silence. Invite Spirit in.

Then—tell someone what shifted.

Because reflection without action is just another performance.
And you? You’re not here for that anymore.

In this deeply personal and energizing episode, I’m joined by Fallon Morningstar and Ian Morris of Listening to Smile to explore the wild intersection of sound, science, and personal transformation. We discuss how Frequency Minded Music™ can physically and emotionally move stagnant energy, support nervous system regulation, and help us reconnect with the deepest parts of ourselves. Fallon shares her journey from burnout and physical imbalance to vibrant health through functional medicine and sound healing. Ian opens up about his recovery from colon cancer and MS, using music and frequency to literally rewrite his life’s story. Together, they bring practical insights on how to integrate sound healing into everyday life—without needing to “do it perfectly.”

Dig in for:

• The Science of Sound & Frequency: How sound literally shifts our biology, from the cellular level to our emotional and mental states.
• Healing the Nervous System: Why most health issues start with stress and how sound creates the space to heal.
• From Suffering to Sovereignty: Personal stories of overcoming chronic illness and trauma through functional health practices and frequency medicine.
• Permission to Start Small: How simply pressing play can start the healing process—and why you don’t need to “do it all” at once.
• Real Talk on Skeptics: How Fallon and Ian approach those who dismiss this work as “woo” or unscientific.
• The Power of Intentional Music: What goes into creating frequency-minded albums and why intention is everything.

...tell me I’ve done something WRONG!!!!!!! GASP!

Welcome to the inner world of a fawner.

Dr. Ingrid Clayton is handing us the flashlight, the mirror, and the permission slip to stop abandoning ourselves in the name of survival. Whether you’re nodding along thinking, “Oh hell, that’s me,” or quietly wondering if this explains your patterns in parenting, work, or love—take a breath. No shame. Just truth, insight, and that sacred human capacity to choose differently... even 30 seconds after you didn’t.

Fawning is not weakness. It’s a genius survival strategy born from trauma. But as Dr. Clayton makes so damn clear—it doesn’t have to be your forever.

Ingrid, thank you for your transparency, your wisdom, your lived experience, and your voice. Thank you for turning what could feel clinical or distant into something profoundly relatable and actionable. You made us feel seen.

To everyone listening: if this conversation cracks something open, follow that curiosity. Pre-order the book. Share this episode. Talk about it. Reflect on it. This is how we heal—out loud. Together.

📘 Pre-order Ingrid’s book Fawning – out September 9, 2025

🧡 Substack is where you'll find more of Ingrid's fantastic writing and thinking!

📲 Follow her brilliance on Instagram @ingridclaytonphd, Facebook, and YouTube.

And as always, stay curious, stay human, and don’t you dare dim your light to make others comfortable.

You’re not too much. You’re just waking up.

And you have permission to choose something different.
