with Lisa Piccirillo

As we approach the Winter Solstice—the darkest, stillest threshold of the year—this conversation invites us to turn inward and listen for what has been waiting quietly within us all along.

In this season one guest episode finale of Sense & Synchronicity, I’m joined by singer-songwriter Lisa Piccirillo for a nourishing conversation on creativity, devotion, and the red thread that leads us back to our lifeforce when we’ve been living at half-mast. 

Lisa shares the deeply personal story behind her album Radiate—a body of work that first arrived as a vision years before she was ready to bring it to life. After early years of touring and songwriting, followed by motherhood, burnout, and the quiet loss of her creative identity, Lisa reached a crossroads during the global pause of 2020. What emerged from that moment was a gentle yet radical devotion to her inner muse through daily “Sacred Starts”—early morning rituals of stillness, presence, and creative listening.

Together, we explore how creativity is not a luxury or a hobby, but a vital life force—one that restores us, reanimates our spirit, and ripples outward into every facet of our lives. Woven through the medicine of Winter Solstice, this episode is a reminder that when the world grows darker and louder, we are invited to source our strength, radiance, and wisdom from within.

In This Episode, We Explore:

  • How ideas and creative visions arrive before we’re ready and how they sometimes wait for us to become who we need to be

  • Motherhood, burnout, and the quiet grief of losing touch with creative identity

  • The power of daily devotion and sacred starts as a portal to creative reclamation

  • Why creativity is lifeforce not something we need to monetize or justify

  • Winter Solstice as a metaphor for tending the inner flame when the world grows dark

Lisa’s story serves as an invitation to slow down, soften, and ask what would truly nourish you right now. You don’t need to act on every vision immediately. Some ideas are meant to gestate in the dark. To be held, protected, and trusted until the time is right. Let this solstice season remind you that your radiance has never left you…it’’s simply waiting for your attention.
