Hey Bestie!

Radical Exhale is a breath-fueled creative wellness community class designed to reconnect you to your body, your breath, and your intuitive magic.

Co-hosted by Abby Creek and C.J. Smith—two of the nervous system nerds behind Braveheart Café, a space for play-based wellness, creative expression, compelling conversation, and radical rest—this class blends guided breathwork with process-based art to help you slow down, soften, and get curious.

You’ll be invited to explore intuitive, expressive practices like mark-making, “drawing breath,” and using watercolor to move with (and be moved by) your breath. No art skills required. No breathwork experience needed. Just a willingness to show up and see what flows through you.

This is creative wellness—a chance to express without explaining, release without rushing, and leave with a one-of-a-kind piece of art made in partnership with your breath. A tangible reminder that your breath is both your anchor and your co-creator.

What to Expect:
• A guided breathwork session led by Abby Creek
• Creative prompts and art facilitation from C.J.
• A safe, zero-pressure space for nervous system expression
• Music, mindfulness, and community connection
• Time to reflect, create, share, and integrate
• You’ll leave with a unique art piece that mirrors your breath

What to Bring:
• Sketchbook or watercolor paper (or any heavy paper)
• Watercolor paints + a brush (or anything you love creating with)
• Something to make marks with (pens, pencils, chalk—whatever feels good)
• A cup of tea, cozy blanket, or anything that makes you feel comfy
• Headphones or a quiet-ish space, if possible

Come as you are—overwhelmed, curious, creative, anxious, tender, ready for a good time, or all of the above. Your whole self is welcome here, just as you are.

🔬 The Science Behind Why This Works

This isn’t just a “nice thing to do for yourself” (though it is). It’s a necessary tool for navigating this world. Engaging in creative, process-driven activities like the ones we do in Radical Reflection LIVE is scientifically proven to:

🧠 Improve Cognitive Function & Focus – Creative play strengthens neural pathways, helping you process information more efficiently and solve problems faster.

💡 Boost Innovation & Decision-Making – Stepping away from linear, logical thinking and into creative flow enhances big-picture thinking and intuition—both critical for work performance.

😌 Regulate Your Nervous System – Creativity activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your rest-and-digest state), reducing cortisol levels and preventing burnout.

🎯 Increase Productivity – When you regularly reset your nervous system, you work better, faster, and with more clarity. (Translation: less procrastination, more getting sh*t done.)

🎨 Unlock Your Brain’s Superpower
Ever tried drawing with your non-dominant hand or using both hands at the same time? It might feel a little awkward, but this kind of movement activates both sides of your brain, strengthening the connection between logic and creativity.

✨ It helps you process emotions faster
✨ It reduces stress and improves focus
✨ It gets you out of your head and into flow

That’s why the process-driven time we create together is so powerful—it’s not about making perfect art, it’s about giving your brain exactly what it needs to regulate, reset, and reach full potential.
