In this episode, podcast host CJMiller invites intuitive artists Joe Kresoja and Tonya Henderson to explore how they connect with their inner guidance and higher selves through their creative practices. Joe, a Los Angeles artist, shares how he creates spiritual color codes for clients by tapping into their unique energy, translating it into shapes and colors. Recently, he completed a personal energy portrait for one of his projects, which heightened his self-awareness of his own beliefs and intentions. Tonya, a Michigan-based artist, paints personal energy portraits as well, and both discuss how setting clear intentions can reveal hidden desires and inner truths, beyond surface-level goals like money and success.

Throughout the conversation, CJ delves into practical questions, asking his guests how they maintain this intuitive connection in their daily lives. Joe explains his process of meditation, sitting in stillness until an image surfaces, and then allowing colors and potential obstacles to emerge as he paints. Both Joe and Tonya stress the importance of releasing attachment to specific outcomes and instead focusing on the present moment. Tonya encourages listeners to let go of fear and external expectations, emphasizing that the path to inner freedom lies in shifting from reaction to mindful response. She shares her practice of daily meditation, where she asks for inner guidance and allows images, feelings, and answers to arise naturally.

The discussion further explores the transformative power of intentional thought and quiet reflection. Joe offers the insight that "awareness is the currency of change," suggesting that by observing our thoughts, we reclaim personal power and create space for growth. Tonya introduces forward journaling as a tool to rewrite one’s story, encouraging listeners to assess whether their beliefs serve them or cause pain. Together, CJ, Joe, and Tonya reveal that true freedom comes from within—by peeling away external influences and reconnecting with the quiet, intuitive voice that guides us toward our best selves. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the transformative journey to self-awareness and the power of intentional creation.
