The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Welcome to The Authentic Creative with Siri Baruc Thornton: a top 2% globally ranked podcast for women who are ready to expand their capacity to feel good, embody their truth, and create from wholeness.
Here, we explore what it really means to live and lead from authenticity. What if feeling good in your body, your work, and your life isn’t indulgent, but the key to everything?
Each week, you’ll hear intimate conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, healers, and visionaries who are redefining success through creativity and embodiment. Alongside these stories, host Siri Baruc Thornton: Reiki Master Teacher, Transformational Breathwork guide, retreat creator, and podcaster — shares grounded spiritual tools, somatic practices, and lived wisdom from her work leading retreats for women around the world.
You’ll also be invited into monthly women’s circles and leadership panels, where diverse voices gather around a new theme each time, exploring embodiment, abundance, creativity, leadership, or the art of truly feeling good.
With listeners in over 65 countries, this podcast is both sanctuary and spark: a reminder that you don’t need to push to create, or perform to belong. You get to feel good. You get to embody your truth. And from that place, your most authentic life and art flow effortlessly.

What's Possible for You? A Voice Note from Dr. Saidie Rodriguez
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After our recent Edge of Expansion panel, Dr. Saidie sent me a voice note that moved me so deeply.
With her wholehearted permission, I'm sharing it with you today because it beautifully captures something I witness again and again in this work.
What becomes possible when we feel safe enough to soften?
What becomes possible when we are truly seen, heard, and held?
What becomes possible when we give ourselves permission to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves?
In this heartfelt voice note, Dr. Saidie reflects on her experience of Transformational Breathwork infused with Reiki, the power of authentic connection, and the impact of gathering in community with women who are willing to show up vulnerably and wholeheartedly.
Whether you've experienced breathwork before or you're simply curious about what might be possible for you, I hope her words offer a reminder of the healing, inspiration, and transformation that can emerge when we create space to come home to ourselves.
If this episode resonates with you, I invite you to explore a private Transformational Breathwork infused with Reiki session. I work with clients both online and in person near Camas, Washington and the greater Portland area.
