Create with Franz
Are you a middle aged woman on the top of your career in a high-stakes environment? Maybe you are the one everyone depends on—meeting deadlines and managing teams with outward grace.

Sound: a bridge to the Divine
Create with Franz
I had the great experience of sitting down with Jeralyn Glass, an internationally acclaimed opera star turned sound healing pioneer and author of Sacred Vibrations. Following the tragic loss of her son, Jeralyn transitioned from the stages of Broadway to the forefront of holistic medicine, discovering how crystalline sound can act as a powerful healing tool for the mind and body. From a scientific perspective, sound healing is rooted in the principles of entrainment and vibro-acoustics. Every organ and cell in the human body vibrates at a specific frequency; when we are stressed or ill,...

Why trends kill creativity when you are buying art
Create with Franz
Have you ever looked at a piece of art in your home and felt… nothing? In a world of fleeting trends and mass-produced convenience, many of us end up with spaces that look "correct" but feel completely disconnected from who we actually are. We buy what is fashionable or what fits the sofa, yet we remain spiritually hungry for a deeper connection to our surroundings. The solution isn't to buy more art, but to understand the "why" behind your own intuition. Sonya Sparks, founder of the Sparks Gallery in San Diego, believes that art is the ultimate path to a meaningful life—provided it...

Why a human voiceover actor is better than any AI clone
Create with Franz
Have you heard the "autopilot" fear currently running through the creative world? It’s the nagging thought that says: Why bother training for a career in voiceover when an AI can clone a voice in seconds? Many aspiring artists are stalling before they even begin, convinced that the machine has already won the race. But is a cloned voice actually the same as a human story? Or are we confusing "data" with “connection"? Let’s make the case that while AI can create realistic digital avatars, it currently lacks the emotional depth, spontaneity, and "soul" that define human performance. ...

The courage to create: beyond the starving artist myth
Create with Franz
So, you want to be an artist. But there is a "but" here, isn't there? A chorus of internal voices holding you back: I’ll never get paid for this. Nobody will like it. I don’t have time. It isn’t a "real" career. If you’ve listened to our previous conversations on the "autopilot" brain, you’ll recognise these as the classic scarcity narratives—the mental traps that lead to analysis paralysis before you even pick up a brush. We convince ourselves that in a world of Canva and AI, the human artist is obsolete. But what if that's just a convenient excuse to stay safe? The solution isn't...
