In this episode I am speaking with Anna Kellerman a creative nurturer, a super connector and lateral thinker. She is an artist and a registered clinical art therapist working with both children and adults. She is a lecturer teaching the Bachelor of Art Therapy and the Bachelor of Counselling &amp; Psychotherapy courses at the Ikon Institute of Australia. Anna is the founder of Mama Creatives a thriving community for all types of female creatives - artists, writers, musicians you name it - she supports them and she also has her own podcast called The Creativity Couch. Anna’s inner critic could be described as the popular school girl, a cheerleader, leading her astray with seductive misguidance. Anna talked about how inner critics can be viewed as more than just self loathing it can be fear, rigidity and perfectionism beliefs developed in childhood playing at keeping us safe - and in a box. So we are toeing the line and not taking up space. The inner critic voice can be more than just hateful, unkind language but also a familiar whisper, lulling us into a false sense of comfort with procrastination, unhealthy habits and self gaslighting. In regards to children Anna’s advice is clear and profound. Sit with kids while they create. Create alongside them. Help them co-regulate by just being there and if there is a rupture - work on the repair aspect. After years of doing the work herself so she can be of service to others Anna is the embodiment of her inner mentor. A character who is an older woman - a sparkly, flowy, sexy fairy godmother with wavy curly grey hair dancing and smiling. There were a few points I wanted to repeat because they are so good:  Watch out for the seductive whisper of the inner critic - it shows up not just as hateful internal language. Your triggers are your teachers Treat yourself kindly, the way you would a good friend. Allow all feelings to percolate - accept them. Visualise yourself stepping into your big girl boots and embody your inner mentor. Anna also mentions Dan Siegel (accidentally as Dan Siegelman) in the episode.  I am really grateful for Anna’s perspective as a creative and a clinical art therapist as it sheds a new light on this subject. Find her @mamacreatives on instagram and at www.mamacreatives.com

Anna Kellerman - An Art Therapist's perspective and the seductive whisper of an inner critic

Anna Kellerman is passionate about art, kids, sharing and connecting. She is a trained art educator, with a Bachelor of Art Education, majoring in Educational Psychology, and a registered art therapist with a Masters in Art Therapy. She has published a thesis on the benefits of working with clay and children with anxiety disorders. Over the past ten years she has worked with kids and teens with a range of emotional and behavioural problems, and most recently worked with children from domestic violence backgrounds. Anna is also the founder of Mama Creatives which is about building a supportive and collaborative community for creative mothers to connect and flourish. And she’s also a single mum and she's on the show this week to share her story. Julia and Anna discuss the following points.  Debunking the relationship myth that long term relationships = success, and therefore, the end of a relationship must = failure. Not true!  The fear of being single in middle age. Choices. How life changed for Anna as a single mum and how she felt about it. Co-parenting. Rebuilding after separation. Text rage. Divorce parties. Empowerment through independence.  Anna also shares the benefits she's found being a single mum and her advice for new single mums.

106 - Empowerment through independence, with Anna Kellerman

Anna Kellerman is Chief Mama and founder of Mama Creatives, a women’s community group that is based in Sydney but with a global vision. Four years after it started, Mama Creatives runs monthly masterclasses and special events designed specifically for women, many of whom are writers, designers, singers or creative entrepreneurs, as well as parents. Anna is passionate about the arts, kids, sharing and connecting and is an art educator and registered art therapist.   Over the past 10 years, she has worked with kids and teens with a range of emotional and behavioural problems and most recently worked with children from domestic violence backgrounds. We are delighted to get her on board to discuss The Politics of Creative Women.   In this podcast, Anna will explain:    Why we are all born creative. Why becoming a new parent often means a loss in energy and time to be creative, and how to remedy that. How Mama Creatives started small but will go global. How we can tap into our own female creative energy to live a more truly satisfying life.
