Listen "16. Dee Kawai Tang on Conversations Across Realms, Embodying Grief and Clearing Karmic Knots."
Episode Synopsis
Today, we step into a radiant, joyful conversation with Dee Kawai Tang—a remarkable storyteller and the perfect guide to set the vibe for this next season.Dee leads us through the intricate dance of love, loss, and creative expression with her magnetic energy. Her laughter, wisdom, and openness ripple through this exchange, inviting us to linger in the depths of what it means to live and create from a place of wholeheartedness. As a stylist, scavenger of second-hand treasures, illustrator, writer, and visionary, Dee embodies the spirit of transformation. Her book Love Is—a grown-up’s story wrapped in the simplicity of a children's picture book—explores the profound themes of love, loss, and the delicate balance between the physical and the unseen worlds. As she works on her second book, Dee also shares her creative journey through her Substack newsletter, woo-tang, where she offers a gentle guide to living on Earth with style, care, and heart.Yet, this conversation travels far beyond Dee’s creative work. It becomes an intimate exploration of her journey through grief, revealing how treasure can be found in trauma. Dee's path is one of metamorphosis and awakening, and as we move deeper, we touch on the idea of releasing karmic knots and uncovering threads of past lives that shape who we are today. Through Dee’s eyes, grief becomes not only a bridge to deeper love but also a way to free ourselves from old patterns and embrace a life filled with greater purpose.Some of the other juicy topics we touch on today include:Moving beyond being offendedChanneling from our higher selfMeditation as a vessel for learning and accessing the unseen worldHow Dee returned back to herself through griefThe essence of Kawa, Dee’s angel daughterPast lives and karmic knotsAuthenticity over growthWhat happens when admiration and Inspiration veers into replication Episode Links:Join the mailing list to be a part of the family.Dee’s InstagramKawa Heart Studio InstagramDee’s websiteRead “woo-tang” Dee’s Substack NewsletterPurchase Dee’s Book - “Love Is”Book in a 1:1 creative chat with DeeHypnosis with Rachel CretharYou can follow The World Needs Creatives on Instagram HERE.
