As a Professional Photographer, Award Winning Writer, Presenter, CEO & Founder. I understand the struggles and challenges faced by creative individuals like you.
Remember Creativity Is Not Just In Music or the Arts it's in business & Life.
When I embarked on my creative journey, there was a dearth of resources and mentoring avenues. I had to teach myself most of what I know today, fueled solely by my unwavering passion. It wasn't an easy path, especially given the financial constraints I faced.
But I want to change that for you. I want to provide you with the advice, inspiration, and options that were lacking when I started out.

The Heart Doesn’t Overthink: Rumi Kobayashi on Identity, Wonder, and Loving Presence
Host Savia Rocks opens season seven of the Us People Podcast with a focus on legacy, peeling back cultural conditioning and trauma, and showing up without judgment, then welcomes writer Rumi Kobayashi from Kyoto, Japan.
Rumi discusses being asked why she speaks English and links that question to limited curiosity, explaining her family moved to Australia in 1988 during Japan’s bubble economy and she lived there for over a decade. They talk about self-love, fluid identity beyond labels, and how Rumi increasingly sees herself in the mirror as inherently worthy, influenced by a friend who survived stage-four pancreatic cancer.
Rumi introduces her book, “The Heart Doesn’t Overthink,” describing overthinking as a survival response, the heart’s intuitive intelligence, wonder in everyday life (including “itadakimasu”), strengthening one’s inner axis, and using judgment constructively. She shares moments of peace through loving connection, and closes by sharing where to find her (Instagram: @rumi_kobayashi_ author, YouTube, newsletter, and a store).
