We were lucky to catch up with Cindy Cisneros recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Cindy thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you recount a time when the advice you provided to a client was really spot on? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)

I’m excited to share a little golden nugget of advice that has truly transformed my artistic journey. Brace yourselves: never underestimate the power of embracing your creativity—it’s like your secret sauce, your artistic mojo.

So, here’s the scene: I’m deep into my latest project, grappling with a creative hiccup. But you know what swept in and saved the day? A burst of creativity that flipped the script in the most unexpected and awesome way. These moments drive home the point that creativity isn’t just a cool add-on; it’s the heartbeat of our art.

And here’s where it gets even more interesting—I’ve stumbled upon a gem in my own artistic exploration: the Creative Vitality Theory. Yep, you heard it right—it’s my very own theory, born out of my personal research. This theory posits that creative folks need to create to stay healthy. It’s not just a passion; it’s a vital part of our well-being. When I’m in the zone, actively creating, there’s this positive energy and vitality that flows through everything I do.

So here’s the deal: let’s not just master the techniques; let’s waltz with our creative side. I recently had a lightbulb moment where a creatively-driven solution not only tackled a challenge but added this whole new dimension to my work. Talk about an instant mood lifter!

Consider this advice a friendly reminder—a nudge to keep that creative flame burning bright. Our artistic journey is this dynamic adventure, and creativity? Well, that’s the compass guiding us to uncharted and extraordinary artistic territories.

In a nutshell, my advice isn’t some lofty musings; it’s a now-and-forever principle. Here’s to celebrating the quirks, the uniqueness, and the downright magical moments that come with being the creative beings we are.

Oh, let me weave in another layer to this creative tale! Not only have I embraced the power of creativity in my own artistic journey, but I’ve also applied this very advice to my clients, witnessing the transformative magic unfold in their lives.

Picture this: armed with the Creative Vitality Theory from my personal research, I started incorporating creative approaches into my interactions with clients. Whether guiding them through artistic projects or encouraging them to infuse creativity into their daily lives, the results were nothing short of awe-inspiring.

As they embraced their creative sides, a ripple effect occurred. I observed their lives transform into healthier, fuller, and more vibrant experiences. It wasn’t just about creating art; it was about tapping into their innate creative potential and allowing it to permeate various aspects of their lives.

One client, initially hesitant to explore their artistic side, eventually found solace and joy in the act of creation. The positive energy radiated not only through their artwork but seeped into their overall well-being. Another client, facing the stresses of daily life, discovered a therapeutic outlet in creative expression, leading to a noticeable shift in their perspective and overall happiness.

It’s incredible how something as simple as embracing creativity can have such profound effects. The Creative Vitality Theory isn’t just a personal philosophy; it’s a guiding principle that has touched and enriched the lives of those I’ve had the privilege to work with.

So, as we celebrate our creative journeys, let’s not forget the wonderful domino effect it can have on others. Here’s to sparking creativity, not just in our own lives but in the lives of those around us, creating a tapestry of healthier, fuller, and more vibrant experiences for everyone involved.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m thrilled to introduce myself to those who may not have crossed paths with my journey before. I’m deeply passionate about creativity and have carved my path at the intersection of art, research, and personal development.

My journey into this realm began with a love for art and a keen interest in understanding the profound impact of creativity on well-being. These were born from my own experiences of being the “odd duck” in the room, never quite fitting in or having my needs met in traditional ways. In school I studied both psychology and art, and delved into extensive research, leading me to formulate the Creative Vitality Theory—an idea that creative individuals thrive when actively engaged in the act of creation.

In my professional endeavors, I offer a range of services that center around understsanding and supporting creativity, both in individuals and within organizational contexts. From guiding artists in unlocking their creative potential to integrating creative thinking into various aspects of life and work, my goal is to inspire and empower others to embrace their creative sides. My services range from therapy as a licensed mental health professional, to coaching and skill-based resources, in-person to online offerings.

What sets me apart is not only my commitment to the Creative Person but also my hands-on approach in applying these principles. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how infusing creativity into one’s life can lead to transformative outcomes. Whether it’s helping clients discover the joy of artistic expression or guiding organizations in fostering a culture of innovation, I pride myself on facilitating positive change through creativity.

One of my proudest achievements is witnessing the positive impact of my work on individuals and organizations. I’ve seen clients experience not just artistic growth but also improvements in overall well-being and problem-solving skills. It’s immensely rewarding to know that I contribute to creating healthier, fuller, and more vibrant experiences for those I work with.

For potential clients, followers, and fans, I want them to know that my approach goes beyond conventional boundaries. I’m not just an advocate for creativity; I’m a practitioner who believes in the transformative power of artistic expression. Whether you’re an aspiring artist, a creative professional, or someone looking to infuse more creativity into your life, I’m here to guide you on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

So, if you’re ready to embark on a creative adventure that transcends the ordinary, I invite you to join me in unlocking the boundless potential that lies within each of us. Let’s paint a canvas of creativity together!

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

The cornerstone of building my reputation in the market has been an unwavering commitment to authentic representation of my values. From the outset, I’ve believed in the transformative power of creativity and its profound impact on individual well-being. This belief has been the driving force behind my journey, shaping not only the products and services I offer but also the way I engage with clients and the community.

Persistence has been key. I’ve consistently shown up with a valuable product and skill set, always striving to exceed expectations. Whether guiding individuals in unlocking their creative potential or collaborating with organizations to foster innovation, I’ve remained dedicated to providing genuine value.

But beyond the tangible offerings, what truly sets me apart is a genuine belief in what I bring to the table. I haven’t just marketed a product; I’ve shared a conviction—a belief that embracing creativity can lead to profound positive changes. This authenticity has resonated with clients and followers, creating a ripple effect that goes beyond transactions.

Building a reputation is a continuous journey, and for me, it involves staying true to my values, persistently delivering value, and, most importantly, continuing to believe in the transformative potential of what I offer to the world. It’s not just about building a brand; it’s about fostering a community that shares in the belief that creativity is a powerful force for positive change. And that, I believe, is the true essence of my journey.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

Ironically, one lesson I wish I could unlearn is the habit of indiscriminately taking advice from others. The backstory revolves around a particular instance where I, ironically enough, succumbed to the allure of external guidance. There’s a plethora of advice out there, and not all of it is tailored to fit your unique journey.

In this case, I fell prey to a program that was aggressively marketed with a fear campaign. Despite my instincts signaling caution, I decided to follow the advice out of a place of fear and uncertainty. Little did I know that this decision would have detrimental effects on both my business growth and personal development.

The program, pitched as a transformative solution, turned out to be ill-suited for my needs and values. Instead of fostering growth, it instilled a sense of fear-driven decision-making that negatively impacted not only my business but also my overall well-being. The experience taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of discernment when it comes to seeking advice.

Now, I advocate for a more mindful approach to guidance—evaluating advice based on its alignment with my values, goals, and individual journey. Taking advice from a place of fear, as I learned firsthand, can lead to misguided decisions and hinder personal and professional growth. It’s a lesson etched in experience, reminding me to trust my instincts and be discerning about the sources from which I seek guidance.
