Each episode meets you in those moments of doubt and “where do I even start?” feelings, helping you reconnect with your spark, trust yourself, and take simple, practical steps to express who you really are.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Creative by Nature, Jessica sits down with Candice Van Dertholen, holistic practitioner and founder of The Warrior Within Healing, to explore how grounding into the body, healing from the root, and reconnecting with our inner truth can completely transform the way we live, create, and lead.
Candice shares her deeply personal healing journey — from surviving profound mental health struggles and burnout to discovering the embodiment-based practices that helped her feel safe in her body again and fall back in love with life. Together, Jessica and Candice talk about how creativity, energy work, and grounded spirituality become pathways home to ourselves during life’s hardest transitions.
You’ll hear about:
✨ Why embodiment is the foundation of healing and alignment
✨ How creativity and play reconnect us with our inner wisdom
✨ Healing generational patterns and emotional wounds stored in the body
✨ Grounded spiritual practices you can use in everyday life
✨ Why alignment creates clarity in life, creativity, and business
Candice also shares simple tools — like heart-centered energy practices and micro moments of stillness — that anyone can begin using today, even in a busy life.
This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t need to fix yourself. You simply get to come back to yourself.
Whether you’re a creative, healer, sensitive soul, or someone navigating change, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, grounded, and inspired.
