ReBloom

In this episode of ReBloom, we sit down with Anna Holtzman, a licensed therapist, coach, and what she calls a “multi-time rebloomer,” to explore what it really means to step into a more honest expression of yourself—and your work.
Anna’s story is one so many women will recognize. She began her career in design journalism and spent over a decade working in television and publishing before feeling the pull toward something deeper. Her transition into therapy and coaching wasn’t part of a plan—it was shaped by experience. Burnout, chronic pain, and the quiet habit of self-silencing led her to ask a different question: What would it look like to trust myself instead?
What unfolds in our conversation is both practical and reflective.
Drawing from her work as a therapist and coach, Anna shares how nervous-system-informed practices helped her reconnect with her voice—not in a performative way, but in a more grounded, sustainable one. We talk about how fear of visibility shows up for high-functioning women, why imposter syndrome persists even with success, and how to move forward without constantly second-guessing yourself.
Anna also hosts the podcast How to Trust Yourself, where she continues these conversations around self-trust, visibility, and doing meaningful work in a way that actually feels sustainable.
Join us for a thoughtful, honest conversation—one that may shift how you think about showing up in your work and your life.

For nearly five decades, illustrator Mary Engelbreit has brought joy to everyday life through her unmistakable style—bright colors, whimsical characters, and thoughtful messages that feel both nostalgic and timeless. What began as a love of drawing and storytelling grew into a creative legacy spanning books, greeting cards, home goods, and generations of devoted fans.
On this episode of the ReBloom Podcast, Mary reflects on the creative pivots that shaped her career, including how an early dream of illustrating children’s books led her—unexpectedly—into the world of greeting cards. That pivot opened the door to an extraordinary body of work that has reached millions through thousands of products and collaborations.
In our conversation, Mary shares what it means to sustain a creative life over decades: the discipline of continuing to draw, the courage to follow opportunities that appear along the way, and the simple joy that still fuels her work today.
If you have ever wondered how creativity endures over a lifetime—or how one artist’s imagination can bring delight to so many—this conversation offers both inspiration and perspective. We hope you will enjoy this wonderful conversation with Mary Engelbreit.

There are some artists who teach technique. And then there are artists who invite you back to yourself. Tracy Verdugo is the latter.
Tracy Verdugo is an inspiration instigator, prolific painter, and bestselling author whose work radiates color, intuition, and deep connection. She lives in an artsy adobe home along the shores of Jervis Bay, Australia, where she paints in her little purple studio and hosts transformative creative workshops around the world.
Since 2000, Tracy has held 18 solo exhibitions, and her vibrant, intuitive mixed media works are held in private collections both in Australia and internationally. Inspired by global travel, texture, pattern, and bold color, she allows storytelling and instinct to guide each painting, often discovering the meaning within the layers as the piece unfolds.
At the heart of her work is connection — to one another, to the natural world, to the divine, and to the greater tapestry we are all part of. She gently reminds us that in every moment we have a choice: to participate in the creating or in the unraveling.
Above all, she is devoted to her family — visiting her daughters, delighting in her granddaughters, and adventuring through life with her beloved Marco — grounding her expansive creative world in love.

There is something meaningful about beginning again.
As we step into our third season of ReBloom, we find ourselves reflecting on all that has unfolded—both in the in-between spaces and in the moments that asked more of us than we expected. Seasons have a way of doing that. They stretch us, reshape us, and invite growth we could not have planned.
In this opening episode of the year, we sit down together to talk honestly about where we have been, what we have learned, and the steady ways we are choosing to rebloom. Not through dramatic declarations, but through everyday decisions. Through paying attention. Through making room for hope. Through believing that beauty still has a place, even after difficult chapters.
At its heart, ReBloom is a conversation between friends. It is also about resilience—the choice to begin again and the recognition that creative growth rarely moves in a straight line.
As we welcome this new season, we hope that these conversations feel like a companion to your own journey. Whether you are in a season of growth, rest, grief, joy, or somewhere in between, there is space for you here. There is always the possibility of new life, new perspective, and beauty ready to unfold.
Thank you for being part of this community. We are grateful to begin again—with you.
Peace, Love and ReBloom

What happens when creativity, courage, and a deep love of home collide?
You get Wendy Conklin, better known as Chair Whimsy.
In this ReBloom Podcast episode, Wendy shares her journey from finding a creative outlet to building a joy-filled brand rooted in play, color, and confidence. What began as a weekend upholstery class quickly bloomed into a business that reimagines antique chairs, expands into vibrant art and textiles, and nurtures a thriving community of creative women.
Wendy believes every woman deserves a home that reflects who she truly is—and she shows us how creativity can be both accessible and transformative. From boldly mixing fabrics to trusting your instincts, her work invites us to loosen perfection, take creative risks, and let whimsy lead the way.
Whether you’re a maker, a creative entrepreneur, or simply longing to bring more personality into your home, this conversation is a gentle reminder that creativity doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs permission. And we all give you that permission to create with joy!
Listen in and be inspired to ReBloom, one joyful project at a time.
