The writing for me is almost bigger than the illustration, like I don't share things on

Instagram unless I have something to say and I think that's when I have my little social

media realization because I guess I have stuff to share. But I just don't feel like throwing

stuff out there because it really isn't just content. For me, it is an expression of my

heart and it's vulnerable. Now, let the magic begin.

Hello, hello, and Jayma. Jayma, yo, me. It's Raquel and welcome to your own magic, a

grounded spiritual podcast and expanding podcast for the creative and curiousle to help

you unleash your own magic. And this episode took me by surprise in the best way. This is our

second episode with the one, the only Rebecca Rice, who is a friend I made in Denver, Colorado.

And you may know her from her art and writing on Instagram at beca.writes or her work with

spirit daughter. As Rebecca is the creative director of spirit daughter. And in this episode,

we talk about her journey through being an artist in the industry from freelance to now being a

full-time employee with the freedom to have freelance opportunities on the side. How she manifested

that, how she set that up for herself and how Rebecca basks in the ebbs and flows as a creator

and as a working creator from having creative blocks, even when you have a deadline to getting

into the creative zone with routines and more and her relationship with social media and being

very intentional with what she posts, which brings her so much joy versus just posting just a

post and being in alignment with integrity and work in social media in her art. And in fact,

I'd say the theme or the motif of this episode was about integrity, having integrity. And she

opens up about the shadows and insights she awakened to last year and learning about cults and cult

like behaviors, especially the specific cult she talks about and then experiencing the contrast

of what it was like to question her spirituality for a period of time, which we've all been through.
