Episode 102 with Amanda Sabater
Finding Creative Inspiration Through Spiritual Practice
Show Notes & Full Transcript
Amanda Sabater (she/her) joins Sophia on the Fat Joy Podcast’s Creation Lab Capsule Collection. In this conversation, they explore the spiritual side of creativity — the inner nudges, intuitions, and moments of mystery that shape how ideas arrive. What begins as a chat about making art becomes a deeper reflection on what happens when creativity feels less like a task and more like a relationship.
They discuss the tension many of us feel:
How do we stay connected to our creative selves when life feels heavy?
How do we trust the impulses that feel both exciting and uncertain?
Together, they talk about the practices that help them tune in — rest, ritual, movement, and simply paying attention — and the barriers that make it hard to hear our own inner wisdom. Throughout, there’s an invitation to see creativity as a sacred companion that keeps reaching toward us, even when we’ve gone quiet.
If you’ve ever sensed that your creative life is also a spiritual life, this episode will feel like coming home to yourself.
To learn more about how you can tap into your creativity and take an idea from napkin scribble to something alive in the world, check out the Fat Joy Creation Lab. We start in March!
