32: Poems and Power with Chelsie Diane

This Feels Important

“My marriage ended because I started painting.”

Tory, Kari, and their guest Chelsie Diane drop into a creative place in this wide-ranging conversation. Kari discovered Chelsie while being inspired to write poetry. Chelsie explains why the path to your higher self is through your art and how to truly know the life you are in is right for you.

Chelsie shares her story that includes surviving cancer as a child, getting a full ride to medical school at 18, and then dropping out. In this honest episode, Chelsie dives into why she quit and how the books she read from estate sales changed her life.

This episode is about helping women with their reclamation of self. And it’s about what Oprah, Dolly Parton, and Lady Gaga have in common. Plus, how to have a full life based on your creativity. You’ll want to hear this one.

ABOUT THIS FEELS IMPORTANT

This Feels Important is an exploration into the hairy, scary, weird, and sometimes orgasmic journey of navigating our ever-evolving relationships to self, others, and the world around us.

Your hosts, Kari Keating and Tory Dube - along with a lineup of epic guests - open the floor for honest discussions about the taboo feels (sex! money!), the painful feels (miscarriages! divorce! grief!), and the fun feels (psychedelics! sex again!) that are inevitable, necessary and freaking important as we all navigate the highs, lows and in-betweens of the human experience.
