✨ Why the Wealthy Prioritize Creativity — and Why I’m Bringing Back My Articulate Sessions

Kristen Mann June 16, 2025

If you’ve ever watched an old episode of Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane, you might remember something unexpected: creative wellness coaching.
Not branding. Not productivity hacks. Not hustle culture.
But painting. Breathing. Talking things out. Letting things flow.

This wasn’t a 2024 soft-life trend.
This was 2007.
And yet, it mirrors what the world is finally catching up to: those at the top understand the value of protecting their peace and expressing their ideas — creatively.

Here’s what I’ve come to understand:

Wealthy individuals and visionaries don’t just work hard.
They curate environments that protect their nervous system, inspiration, and identity.
They invest in…

  • Coaches and wellness guides

  • Massage and movement practitioners

  • Sound baths and creativity sessions

  • Journaling retreats and brand visioning trips

  • And sometimes? Just a blank canvas and a conversation

They know:
When your mind is clear and your creativity is safe, your leadership sharpens.

Why I’m Bringing Back Articulate Sessions

I created Articulate Sessions years ago to hold space for women like me — women who are high-performing, spiritually evolving, deeply creative, and… often emotionally tired.

I made these sessions to help us say the things we don’t say out loud.
To hear our voice again.
To make room for meaning, not just metrics.

Now more than ever, I know this work is needed.

We don’t need more noise.
We need mirrors.
We need movement.
We need moments to express without being edited or expected to be “on.”

What to Expect

Articulate Sessions are not just coaching calls.
They are safe rooms for women navigating:

🧠 Burnout from always being the strong one
🎭 Unspoken identity shifts (in marriage, motherhood, faith, or leadership)
🎨 A longing to create something... just for you
🛑 Emotional clutter from outgrowing environments that once felt safe

It’s soft but strong work.
It’s soul work.
It’s time to make space for your voice again.

If you’re feeling the tug to return to yourself — creatively, spiritually, or emotionally — this is your invitation.
I’m bringing Articulate Sessions back with deeper intention and softer power.

Your brilliance is not up for debate.
But your peace needs protection.
Let’s give your creativity a seat at the table again.

Stay tuned.
I’ll be sharing how to join me soon.

With clarity and care,
