Flute 360 | Episode 332: "Is It the Universe…or God? Rethinking the Creative Process as a Flutist"

In this solo episode, Dr. Heidi Kay Begay invites you into a vulnerable, soulful conversation about creativity, faith, and what it truly means to be a modern-day artist.

Inspired by the Flute 360 Accelerator’s June book club selection, The Creative Act by Rick Rubin, Heidi reflects on how the book reshaped her understanding of artistry — and how viewing “the Source” through a faith-based lens revealed a deeper truth: that we are co-creators with God.

This is not just a book review. It’s a gentle nudge for any flutist who’s been questioning their identity, comparing their path to others, or wondering whether their art still matters in a season of change or healing.

Whether you’re playing, podcasting, composing, writing, or resting — this episode will remind you that your creativity is still valid. Still sacred. And still very much needed.

Main Points:

• Why redefining “the Source” as God can ground and deepen your creative process
• The lie that says “If I’m not performing, I’m not creating” — and how to rewrite that story
• What it means to be a flutist in a season of injury, recovery, or transformation
• How to release comparison and show up in your own artistic lane with joy and freedom
• Why your artistry counts — even if it looks different than it used to
• How the Flute 360 Accelerator creates a space for flutists to reflect, grow, and connect
