Healing Was The Creation

Creative energy, healing, and the inner world I built years ago...

Hello love,

I had a very insightful experience the other day.

A definite lightbulb moment in regard to what I’m building here for you as this business is reimagined.

Plus, full disclosure, today is all about inviting you to step into a space of healing fun.

Clarity around what The Ease Experiment is all about.

No problems ~ No solutions.

Just space.

(And another playdate in the land of AI 😉)

---

It started with a gift to myself.

A gentle, ease-filled, cushioned place to land.

Making my work room more of a cocoon for anniversary-grief windows, a place to retreat to after a long day and a space to inspire creativity more freely.

It was super simple:

• a new rug

• my own television

• and the family trunk that’s always ended up being a TV stand.

(That would be a fun series if I could find all the photos ~ That trunk with “TVs through the decades” sitting on top of it 😅💜✨)

It’s become the centering/grounding space I’d hoped it would.

Broken, 100 year old, linen-closet door and all.

The other night I was playing around with AI images.

Nothing strategic or biz related.

Honestly, just curiosity and creative play.

The culmination of what I was supposed to receive from following through with a very good suggestion:

✨ A few of my business friends have been exploring the “create your inner realm” concept.

I completely understand why it resonates with so many people.

I actually think it is beautiful.

I love the realms my friends have created and share.

They make me so happy.

And it is very healing to see your inner world reflected back to you visually.

I got excited and moved forward with the guidance to discover my own inner- realm.

And when I originally involved AI for a brainstorming session…

I was surprised that my realm was my everyday life ~ Simply, from an elevated, energetic space.

No secret land filled with beautiful, amazing creatures, ready to share their love and wisdom.

No calming, mythical landscapes designed to sooth and inspire.

Just ever-present energetic vibrations moving through my here-and-now.

My present moment from an energetically up-leveled perspective.

So, I took this revelation into my AI image playtime and created some caricatures for fun.

And the images that came back were eerily accurate, if not filled with AI inconsistencies to help keep it real. 😉

• Warm lighting.

• Gray cats.

• Journals everywhere.

• Bass guitars.

• Cameras.

• Writing spaces.

• Creative clutter.

• Quiet magic.

They genuinely felt like me.

Then I decided to include the photo of my new space.

So, this is obviously not even close my literal life.

For instance, in this realm apparently I am able to have houseplants 😅

And this is why I included the original IRL photo above ~ Peeling paint, broken doors and all.

Full disclosure.

But these images most certainly bring the atmosphere of my inner/energetic world during this season of my life.

(BTW ~ The little otter on my TV ~ He’s not mine ~ But he is a part of my day-to-day ~ His name is Waffle and he has his own YouTube channel 💜)

And honestly, the images themselves inspired this entire post.

Because while I was looking at them, I remembered something important.

The reason the whole “inner realm” concept is not unfolding for me like it is with everyone else is, as I discovered during my original brainstorm…

I already created mine years ago.

About 11 years ago…

After I broke my ankle, something shifted in me physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.

I instinctively started protecting my energy in ways I had never done before.

I even limited technology for the first couple of months because I could physically feel the drain of too much input.

It was a concept I learned from a woman who healed her body after losing both of her legs from the knees down.

I put myself in a “psychic bubble”.

If it did not facilitate my perfect healing, it was not allowed in.

And, that space, that boundary stayed with me.

It slowly became part of my work.

• Part of my writing.

• Part of how I hold people emotionally.

• Part of how I move through grief, creativity, intuition, business, and life.

So when people talk about discovering their realm ~ I realize mine will never be an amazing magical kingdom with a beautiful fantasy landscape.

Mine is purely energetic.

It was built quietly, over years, through healing, reflection, creativity, grief, intuition, nervous system repair, and learning how to listen to myself differently.

---

And honestly…

If I had broken my ankle in 2026 instead of 11 years ago, this whole realm creation movement probably would have resonated with me.

It would have more than likely fit the healing space I was in ~ Once I had the creative energy.

Because one of the biggest things I discovered during that healing season is that we absolutely use creative energy for healing.

Not metaphorically.

Literally.

🎨 There are seasons where creativity flows outward into art, beauty, music, writing, imagination, ideas, and expression.

🧘‍♀️ And then there are seasons where that same creative force gets redirected inward toward survival, physical healing, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, restoration, and repair.

Looking back now, I can see all of the internal, creative energy I was using for healing.

Healing was the creation.

So yes, realm building might have totally spoken to me.

But only once enough creative energy became available again.

---

And maybe that is part of why these AI images affected me the way they did.

Because they quietly reflected something real back to me.

• The atmosphere.

• The softness.

• The creativity.

• The healing.

• The life I have slowly been rebuilding for years.

And honestly?

The fact that I even had enough creative energy to play with them at all feels meaningful to me.

Because this time around I’ve felt like my work is all about this “energetic realm”.

The elevated, energetic space that I’ve been learning to integrate for the last several years ~ That’s now just a part of my day-to-day.

So, when I did originally decide to brainstorm what my inner-realm world was and how it looked with AI…

It opened a whole other door, because I truly was surprised to see my own, everyday reality reflected back to me.

Definitely a little bummed about not having a mystical land with quirky amazing creatures to share with you.

But totally content with everything I’ve built in real life ~ And the energetic realm consciously curated along with it ~ To be enough.

For me and for you.

With love + infinite ease,
