Using Creativity to Transform Suffering into Spiritual Elegance
Interview on the “Soul-Led Creative Women” podcast with Sam Horton
Chris Nielsen was recently featured on “Soul-Led Creative Women,” the podcast hosted by British-born Australian artist and creative and spiritual mentor Sam Horton.
In Episode 111, “Use Creativity to Transform into Spiritual Elegance,” Chris reflects on a theme central both to the conversation and to her book, “Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later”: that art is often born from pain, and that one of the deepest spiritual tasks is to transform suffering into beauty, meaning, and inner elegance.
The episode explores how authentic creativity does not begin in perfection or performance, but in inner truth — and how, through the honest expression of what we have lived, pain can gradually be refined into wisdom, presence, strength, and a more conscious way of being.

Chris Nielsen on Past Lives & Tchaikovsky
Interview on the “Maverick Mind” podcast with Ellie Foden
Chris Nielsen was recently featured on Maverick Mind, the podcast hosted by Ellie Foden, in a thoughtful conversation on identity, transformation, intuition, and healing.
In the episode, she speaks about her personal and professional journey — from ballet, theatre, and cultural communication to therapy, past life regression, and spiritual inquiry — and about the inspiration behind her book, “Being Pyotr Ilyich – Tchaikovsky’s Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later.”
Their discussion touches on the hidden reasons we may feel stuck, the identity shifts that lead us away from paths no longer aligned with who we are, the role of intuition in times of uncertainty, and the way past life regression can open a deeper perspective on emotional patterns that may extend across lifetimes.

Selected Reader & Influencer Reviews
“Being Pyotr Ilyich felt like reading someone’s secret letter to the world: intimate, raw, and quietly overwhelming. This book reads less like a biography and more like a guided descent into a brilliant, tortured inner life, where music, longing, and a sense of exile shape every line. It’s the kind of book that asks you to feel, not just understand.”

“This book is emotional, intense, and beautifully written. It doesn’t just tell the story of a great composer — it brings his heart and mind to life. You see not only Tchaikovsky’s success, but also his vulnerability and inner battles. The writing style is immersive and thoughtful, making you connect deeply with him as a human being, not just as a musical genius.”
“This is a truly unique book and unlike anything I have read. Filled with emotional depth and vulnerability, love, heartache, and a quest for artistic expression, as well as family dynamics and personal struggles. It is as introspective as it is reflective, complex, and artistic.”
