Oh, friends, you are in for such a treat with this episode! I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the incredible Kerry Burki on Joleen's Happy Time Craftcast, and let me tell you—it was like taking a long, soul-soothing exhale. Kerry is one of those people who just gets it. She’s an author, yoga teacher, intuitive mentor, and a beautiful soul who helps sensitive women reconnect with their own magic (yes, we all have some, and Kerry knows just how to find it!).
Kerry’s written two books that I adore, Tend to Your Vibration and Stellar Vibrations, and she teaches us all about tuning into ourselves with a little help from lunar rituals, nature, and even quick breathing exercises. In our conversation, we dove into what it means to bring more creativity, spirituality, and intention into everyday life—and Kerry’s all about simple, powerful ways to stay connected to ourselves even in the busiest times.
What We Talked About
We kicked things off with a real check-in about how showing up authentically sometimes means showing up a little tired or frazzled, but showing up anyway. I had to be real—I’m in the thick of retreat season at Big Raven Farm, and, oh boy, I’m feeling it! But, as Kerry reminded me (and all of us!), sometimes all it takes to recenter is a tiny moment to breathe. And Kerry walked us through some amazing breathing exercises right then and there. We tried her “Lunar Breath,” which is as soothing as it sounds and left me feeling like I’d been through a mini yoga class.
We also talked about Kerry’s journey and how she discovered her own path through creativity and spirituality. Fun fact: she didn’t start in yoga or even art—she was on a totally different path before it all clicked! Now, she combines her passions into this incredible practice, teaching others how to connect with their own energy and creativity, whether that’s through yoga, moon circles, or crafting little vision boards that capture how we want to feel instead of just goals. (How brilliant is that?!)
Kerry shared her love for the seasons and how she uses little rituals—like getting outside for sunrise or sunset—to reconnect with nature and her own intentions. And the best part? Kerry makes it all feel doable. You don’t need hours; just a few mindful minutes can make all the difference. I think we can all get behind that!
Why You’ll Love This Episode
If you’re craving a little more connection to yourself or feeling like your creativity could use a boost, Kerry’s ideas are pure gold. She reminds us that tuning into ourselves can happen in all sorts of fun, colorful, and simple ways—whether it’s a vision board, a breathing practice, or just remembering to stand barefoot in the grass now and then. She’s a total inspiration, and her wisdom is like a cozy invitation to bring a little more magic into our days.
So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and join Kerry and me for this heart-centered chat. Trust me, you’ll leave this episode with some new ideas and maybe a little reminder to pause, breathe, and soak up some of that creative energy that’s always waiting for us.
