Hi everyone! Today, I’m beyond excited to welcome Anne Ditmeyer to Enter the Portal! Anne is an author, creative facilitator, and founder of the Mapping Your Path program. In this episode, we explore the transformative power of creativity, playful problem-solving, and how embracing creative constraints can open up new possibilities in life.
Anne shares her incredible journey of self-discovery, from her early days as a designer to becoming a creative guide for others. We dive into the profound ways creativity intersects with spirituality, and how it’s helped Anne and her clients navigate life’s challenges. She also discusses her book Override, which offers readers practical tools to question limiting beliefs and make life more joyful and playful.
We also explore how Anne’s journey of becoming a French citizen shaped her resilience and creativity, as well as her personal experience of navigating grief after the loss of a close friend. This episode is packed with wisdom, humor, and inspiration for anyone seeking to explore creativity, overcome limiting beliefs, and live a life of intentional play.
If you’re ready to embrace creativity as a tool for personal growth and self-expression, this episode is for you.
