The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
The Authentic Creative is a top 2% globally ranked podcast hosted by Siri Baruc Thornton.
Every conversation is an invitation to come home to yourself.
With more than 316 episodes and listeners in 65+ countries, Siri has welcomed Emmy Award winners, New York Times bestselling authors, neuroscientists, psychologists, physicians, artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, spiritual teachers, researchers, and everyday people whose stories illuminate what it means to be fully human.
Every episode begins with curiosity.
Together we explore creativity, healing, psychology, spirituality, relationships, purpose, nervous system regulation, and the beautifully imperfect human experience. These conversations invite honesty, deepen compassion, expand perspective, and remind us that healing often begins the moment we feel deeply seen.
The subtitle of this podcast is Expanding Our Capacity to Feel Good.
Feeling good begins with expanding our capacity to fully experience life—with love, grief, wonder, uncertainty, creativity, gratitude, joy, and compassion. As that capacity grows, so does our ability to live authentically, create courageously, love deeply, and meet life with presence.
Alongside intimate conversations, you’ll also find guided meditations, Transformational Breathwork, Reiki teachings, and solo reflections that offer practical tools for healing, authentic living, and personal growth.
Everything I create is rooted in one intention:
Creating extraordinary spaces where people feel deeply seen, safe to tell the truth, and remember who they truly are.
Whether you’ve been listening since the very beginning or you’re pressing play for the first time, I’m honored you’re here.
Welcome to The Authentic Creative.

Awakening the Energy Within: A Guided Chakra Meditation with Siri
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this guided chakra meditation, I lead you on a gentle journey through the 7 energy centers of the body, inviting grounding, emotional healing, nervous system regulation, empowerment, intuition, heart opening, expression, and deeper connection to yourself.
This minisode is an invitation to slow down, soften, breathe, and reconnect to the wisdom already living within you.
Through visualization, breath, affirmations, and energetic awareness, we move from root to crown, awakening each chakra and allowing the body to settle into greater balance, presence, clarity, and peace.
I especially recommend listening lying down, before sleep, after a stressful day, or anytime you are craving reconnection and energetic restoration.
In this episode:
• guided chakra meditation
• nervous system grounding and regulation
• root through crown chakra healing
• breath and visualization practices
• energetic balance and embodiment
• intuition and energetic awareness
• emotional healing and self connection
• Reiki inspired meditation and restoration
