In this episode of Waking Up Now, host Jules speaks with Izolda Trakhtenberg about awakening through creativity, the out-of-body experience that changed how she sees reality, the wisdom of her great-grandmother that lived inside her without her knowing, and how creative expression, whether through music, painting, writing, or five minutes of free time, can become one of the most powerful tools for self-discovery and healing.
If you are on a path of spiritual awakening, remembrance, or simply searching for the part of you that got buried somewhere along the way, this conversation will speak directly to your soul.
