Jenny Leigh Hodgins: Empowering your creative flow & inspired living.
Welcome to Your Creative Chord—my sanctuary where creativity and inspiration meet transformation in every aspect of life. As host of Your Creative Chord Podcast, I invite you into a shared experience of self-discovery and creative exploration.
With more than three decades as a dynamic creative force—and 39 years as a practicing Buddhist—I embody a life rooted in artistic expression, spiritual growth, and holistic wellness.
At the heart of Your Creative Chord is my deep reverence for creativity as a guiding force for inspired living. My devotion to creative flow runs through everything I do—whether it’s poetry, music, nature photography, or meaningful life lessons meant to nurture the soul and stir the imagination.
Through my work as a musician, composer, educator, author, poet, and caregiver, I bring a unique blend of passion and inner reflection. My poetry and lyrics explore the human experience—love, loss, cultural identity, the process of building a solid inner core, and the spiritual power of nature. I share my original music through nature immersive videos and audio meditations, as one creative tool for powerful restorative impact.
Creativity, to me, is how I process life. It’s how I navigate through emotion, experience, growth, and meaning. It’s not just about producing something—it’s how I reflect, respond, and transform what I’m feeling or observing into something of value or beauty.
It’s also about listening—really paying attention—with all my senses to the world around me. The beauty I find in ordinary places, whether that’s in nature, the way people communicate, what someone’s wearing, the impeccable deliciousness of a meal and the way it’s artistically placed on a plate… the smell of coffee in the morning, lavender oil from a diffuser, or the sweet fragrance of a fringe tree.
Or how a particular piece of art stuns my visual senses with texture, composition, color, shape, and line—and how all those inputs stir something within my heart, soul, and creative juices. That’s when the muse begins to be set in motion.
But it’s not just how I take things in—it’s how I respond to them. Emotionally, psychologically, even spiritually. Creativity is the way I internally process those sensory and emotional experiences and shape them into meaning, purpose, or beauty.
Creativity is my natural way of being—how I absorb and respond to the world around me, and to my internal thoughts and feelings.
Through Your Creative Chord, I offer a supportive space for you to tap into your inherent potential and cultivate a natural, joyful creative flow. Through my podcast, books, courses, and online communities, I share practical strategies and heartfelt encouragement to help you express yourself authentically and move toward a more grounded, meaningful, and triumphant way of living.
