The Power of Creative Expression & Living Life in Full Color: Amy Lohr on Creative Healing and Finding Your Voice

Margo sits down with artist, writer, and creative director Amy Lohr to talk about the nonlinear, magical, and sometimes messy journey of reclaiming your creative voice. Amy shares how a personal "creative awakening" helped her move through body dysmorphia and social anxiety, and how painting, writing, and photography became tools for healing and deeper self-understanding.

They explore the spiritual and practical sides of creativity—from living off-grid in Hawaii, to writing her book Like the Sun at Midday, to embracing curiosity in all its unexpected forms (yes, including papier-mâché and xylophones). Amy also dives into the power of branding and storytelling, and how she helps entrepreneurs and visionaries express the heart of their work with clarity and soul.

Margo and Amy Discuss:

• Amy's personal creative awakening and how it reshaped her life
• Moving through body dysmorphia and social anxiety via self-expression
• Following odd, intuitive creative pulls (like new mediums and playful experiments)
• Her time living off-grid in Hawaii and the spiritual experiences that shaped her artistry
• The influence of mentors—including a counterculture elder with childhood ties to Bobo the gorilla
• Writing Like the Sun at Midday and what it taught her about listening, presence, and surrender
• The real "soft skills" behind creative confidence: courage, slowness, vulnerability, being seen
• How branding and storytelling help creatives express their essence and connect with their audience
• Why your art matters not just for you, but for the world
