James Navé here, welcoming Siobhan Doherty to Imaginative Storm’s Twice 5 Miles Radio podcast. 

Occasionally, on this show, it’s my pleasure to interview someone who has committed their life and career to creative endeavors. Even though you already have plenty of proof creativity flourishes, does it ever hurt to have a little more proof? 

In this insightful interview, Siobhan demonstrates why folks refer to her as a thought leader and a creativity coach. Siobhan first caught my eye with her announcement on The Artist’s Way Community Facebook group that she was offering an Artist’s Way course in early 2023. The ad was compelling; naturally, I clicked her link: www.bluetomato.art. 

Sure enough, I discovered she was creating space for playful power. Siobhan also tells us that saying small will not keep us safe. So, when you listen to this, you’ll get even more proof creativity always flourishes. Enjoy the show.

Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising exchanges with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who speak from the core. Each episode dives beneath the surface to explore the stories and questions that shape our lives.

I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime creative collaborator. With an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and decades of teaching experience across the globe, I help writers and performers tap into their authentic voices through public speaking, creative writing, and the Imaginative Storm method, which I co-developed with Allegra Huston.

My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer (3: A Taos Press), documents a hundred days of healing and poetic reckoning. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience—practical guides for anyone seeking to speak and write with more truth and power.

I’ve directed festivals, hosted literary salons, taught with Julia Cameron, and memorized over 600 poems. I still believe in the power of a well-told story, the light through stained glass, and the open road with nothing but a podcast and a windshield full of stars.
