Portals, Synchronicity, and the Art of Becoming with Marisa White
What happens when art becomes a portal—and Spirit finds ways to break through? In this sparkly conversation, visual artist Marisa White joins Jane and Sarah to share how her surreal photo montages blur the line between real and imagined, inviting us to “make the magical feel probable.”
Marissa recounts how her neighbor Julie opened her spiritual world—and how, after Julie’s passing, she made her presence known through scents, light, and laughter. From coffee beans and sage to essential oils, Marissa shares extraordinary stories of “Smell-o-Vision” visitations that affirmed Spirit’s nearness.
We chat about:
Art as conduit: flow, discipline, and allowing something greater to move through you
Synchronicity at the Park City art festival and the connections that followed
The piece Becoming and the Merkaba symbol that “insisted” on staying
Embodying the higher self—right here, right now
Small-and-mighty grandmothers, Monarch butterflies, and honoring ancestors through art
The love story of “Dr. Awesome” and how trust + partnership fuel creativity
Why following nudges (instead of starving-artist myths) opens unexpected doors
Through laughter, chills, and a few tears, this episode reminds us that art isn’t just something we make—it’s something that makes us, too.

✨ Takeaways
Flow often comes after you start creating, not before.
Spirit communicates through the senses—smells, light, synchronicities.
Trust your nudges: art, love, and life expand when you follow them.
Embodying your highest self is the real masterpiece.
