128. The Flow Habit: How to Reconnect with Joy, Creativity & Inner Peace with Laurie Smith

What if the path back to yourself wasn’t about doing more…but about remembering what already brings you joy?

In this episode, I’m joined by Laurie Smith, author of The Flow Habit, for a beautiful conversation on flow state, creativity, intuition, and the healing power of doing something simply because you love it.

We talk about how flow isn’t just reserved for artists, athletes, or peak performance moments. It can live in the small everyday moments too, in cooking, writing, dancing, creating, laughing with a friend, or doing something that helps you lose track of time and come home to yourself.

Laurie shares how returning to writing for just 5–10 minutes a day during the pandemic changed everything for her, and how that simple practice grew into a global movement, a book, and a deeper understanding of what it really means to live in flow.

We also explore the connection between flow, intuition, healing, childhood joy, and how this state can support us not only in the beautiful moments of life, but also in the hardest ones.

In this episode, we talk about:
✨ What the flow state actually is
✨ Why flow is more accessible than we think
✨ How to begin, even if you feel distracted, overwhelmed, or disconnected
✨ The role of intrinsic joy and childlike curiosity
✨ Technology, overstimulation, and what pulls us out of flow
✨ Flow as a pathway to intuition, healing, and inner peace
✨ Laurie’s journey of writing The Flow Habit
✨ Beautiful reminders for anyone who feels called to write, create, or share their voice

This conversation is such a gentle invitation to slow down, follow your sparkles, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have always known how to flow.
