Episode 5 – Shirley Ann Aphrodite on Creativity in Service to Romance


How might you express your creativity if you gave all of your attention to romance? Today’s guest, Shirley Ann Aphrodite, believes that the process of creating beauty can, without a doubt, generate feelings of Romance, Adoration and Love. And she creates it all – Art, Fashion, Flowers, Exquisite Design, Poetry, Music….and so much more.

As she shares her journey back in time, you’ll be drawn in by her passion for expressing powerful femininity, and you’ll learn what makes her blood boil! Can you guess her favorite TV Channel, in spite of the cliches? And, did she really say she has 10 Instagram accounts?

Listen in as she reads an excerpt from Jean Shinoda Bolen’s “Goddesses in Every Woman” and invites us into her world, confirming that “Just as Aphrodite the lover may proceed serially through many affairs of the heart, Aphrodite as a creative force may involve a woman in one intense creative effort after another.”
