The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to... ·

2025/09/27

So many of us were raised to be “good girls," to smile, to say yes, to overdeliver, to smooth things over, to be endlessly reliable. But at what cost? In this minisode of The Authentic Creative, I open up about why good girls burn out, and why it’s not your fault. Together we explore the cultural conditioning that keeps women stuck in fawn and freeze, the hidden toll on our bodies and creativity, and the radical reframe that allows us to step out of “good” and into whole, authentic, radiant, ...

Moments That Change Everything with Ellie Banke

The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to... ·

2025/09/03

There are moments in life when everything stops. When time slows, the air shifts, and you realize you’re standing inside a dream you once barely dared to imagine. For Ellie Banke, that moment came in London, when Ed Sheeran flew her over to record with him in a café and later sing again at a U2 afterparty in the green room of his pub. After her performance, The Edge from U2 quietly held her hand, breathed with her, and helped her ground back into presence. This episode is about those kinds of...
