    Creativity is not just about art, it is about how you choose to experience life.

    In this conversation, Aimee Carlson sits down with Mehmet Casey to explore what it truly means to live creatively through change, uncertainty, and new beginnings. From navigating cultural shifts after moving from Baghdad to the United States to building a life rooted in curiosity and adaptability, Mehmet shares how creative thinking becomes a powerful tool for resilience. His story reveals how asking better questions, embracing discomfort, and staying open to new experiences can transform not just your circumstances, but your entire perspective on life and community.

    This is an invitation to look at your own life differently, to explore what is possible, and to give yourself permission to try, adapt, and grow. Creativity is not something you either have or do not have, it is something you choose to live.

    024: Nervous System Regulation and Creativity for Women in Life Transitions
    Mar 17 2026

    Creativity has a powerful way of revealing what is no longer aligned in our lives.

    Host Aimee Carlson sits down with Zila Moosa, poet, author, and owner of Strech-eze®, to explore her journey from a 25-year career as a cybersecurity lawyer to building a mindful wellness business centered on nervous system regulation. Through poetry, yoga, breathwork, and creative exploration, Zila discovered that creativity was not separate from her life path but a doorway into deeper authenticity and purpose. Their conversation weaves together themes of creativity, mindfulness, life transitions, and the courage it takes to release identities tied to status and stability.

    The discussion also highlights the importance of creating space, listening to intuition, and trusting the unfolding of life even when the next step is unclear. Creativity becomes both a guide and a support system for navigating change and building a life that feels aligned from the inside out.
