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.

The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
The Wisdom of Just for Today
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Reiki minisode, I guide you through the 5 Reiki Principles, the spiritual foundation of the traditional Usui Reiki practice.
These simple teachings have supported practitioners around the world for generations because they invite us back to presence, gratitude, integrity, trust, and compassion.
Together we'll move through a gentle meditation connecting each Reiki principle with the body's energy centers, offering space to soften stress, release worry, reconnect with your intuition, and remember the healing wisdom already within you.
Whether you are a Reiki practitioner, Reiki curious, or simply looking for a few moments of grounding and restoration, this meditation is a beautiful way to begin or end your day.
