Today’s conversation has ideas to prime the pump for our May 14th WeMentor Mini LAB: Strengthen Your Intrinsic Leadership and Mentoring VALUE. We are working with our Inner Selfie to design a Self-Leadership Mini Plan and a Leadership and Mentoring Mini Plan. Sign-up here!
Barb Kobe has an Inner Selfie e-book you can download below, whether you attend the Mini LAB or not. Mike Kabeya—sound engineer and photographer for this podcast—joins our conversation to offer his perspective on the healing doll process. It is another stimulating conversation about Barb’s life work as a confident healing artist, visionary designer, teacher, facilitator, creativity coach, and author.
We discuss:
- How you can create a powerful business image/figure of who you are as a leader and mentor of others. Mike describes what his business logo for Kabeya Media represents to him.
- The healing doll process and the five-pointed star in Barb’s book, The Healing Doll Way: A Guided Process Creating Art Dolls for Self-Discovery, Awareness, and Transformation.
- Who argued with Joseph Campbell about the differences between the Hero’s Journey and the Heroine’s Journey? What are the differences? Barb added lovingkindness and retreat center in her healing archetype process.
- Discovering the masculinity and femininity within ourselves and your way of creating and healing in a patriarchal society.
- Who makes healing dolls? How are these dolls used for guidance and to bare witness to one’s own healing journey?
- Discarding a myth about Voodoo dolls and how they were used to control people, witchcraft manipulators and fearmongers.
- Getting a clearer picture of your inner child, your inner critic, and your nurturing creative parent. Learning how to recognize when you are in the inner critic realm.
- Lots of art exercises to activate your imagination for growth within, working through struggles, and befriending fear. Getting unstuck from your story.
- Learning to trust your intuition.
- When children learn about emotions.

- Psychoneuroimmunology is the science of how thoughts and emotions influence health. The underlying theory of this science is that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected and that an individual cannot treat one without affecting another. It also suggests the ultimate healing must come from within the individual, that we all have a mind and a soul that influences and creates who we are—even our illness.
