31: 🎨 Art as a bridge to your body – with Pascale Côté
How can we be creative and playful in a society that tells us to perform, produce, and consume 24/7? Why is making art and being creative not just a childish hobby but an act of healing and world-building 🌀?
In this episode, I talk with creativity guide, artist, and writer Pascale Côté about art as a medicine for your soul, soma, spirit and mind and how we can live creatively in a society that gives our “muses” a hard time 🧚🏼. Pascale explains how white supremacy, capitalism, and oppressive systems create a hostile environment for (creative) human beings and how they influence your personal way of living and (not) creating, your art-making processes and your creative self in a direct and negative way.
But we don’t stop at these bans and obstacles ✨! Pascale shares beautiful and rebellious thoughts about your creative self and she offers inspirations and ideas how you can reclaim and return to your natural playfulness, joy, and creativity. We also touch on AI and how your creative self might become even more important in the future…

PASCALE CÔTÉ’S BIO
Pascale Côté is a creativity guide, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work with their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of against it. She helps clients break free from the vortex of overthinking and move forward with their bold, rebellious ideas.
Her work challenges conventional norms, and invites creatives to explore what’s possible when they release outdated narratives. Pascale believes that art is a powerful vehicle for both individual and collective change when it’s grounded in truth—and created outside the rigid systems that stifle our creative spirit.
