Listen "Nurturing Creativity with Stacey Messier"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this conversation, I sit down with Stacey Messier, the dynamic General Manager of CIC New England and a true creative force. Together, we explore a deeply personal and often taboo topic: the decision to not have children. Stacey opens up about her family history, intergenerational trauma, and how societal pressures influenced her path. We talk honestly about setting boundaries, redefining motherhood, and how creativity can become a form of birthing and nurturing in its own right.This episode is not just about motherhood; it's about identity, legacy, and honoring our intuition. Stacey shares how her art and leadership work have become her "babies," and we dig into what it means to live a creative life. From building immersive murals to embracing new artistic chapters, Stacey's story is a reminder that creativity, like life, is a process of unfolding, intention, and presence.Topics Discussed in the Episode:Why Stacey chose a child-free lifeNavigating family expectations and boundariesRedefining motherhood through creativityArtistic evolution and community muralsEmbodiment and creative flowCarrying creativity into leadershipLinks & Resources:Stacey Messier's website: www.staceymessier.comStacey on Instagram: @staceymessierartStacey on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/staceymessier/Stacey on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mLWh_gjzfwBook recommendation: Blue Mind by Wallace J.
