“We're having a human experience,” with multimedia artist Aunia Kahn

More Than Work

This week’s guest is Aunia Kahn, multimedia artist and creative entrepreneur. She founded both Rise Visible (formerly Light Owl Design) and Create for Healing which we discuss.

Rise Visible is a full-service branding, design and marketing agency. She started her career in web and graphic design just by chance when she was a musician and wanted to design her own album cover. The story is a good one so listen for that in the first 5 minutes of the episode. We talk about the benefits and challenges of having your own business.

Aunia is also open about living with a chronic illness and what that entails. She has has EDS, a disorder of the body’s connective tissue and explains this more as well as PoTS. Reality of living with a chronic illness and the ups and downs.

Create for Healing is an educational platform that combines healing with fun and creativity. Aunia, a renowned artist, used healing and art in her own life and this platform is her gift to others, providing affordable art and programs to help people with their own healing and creativity.

Listen for all this and how Aunia has become her own advocate and has taken a really realistic and grounded approach to everything!

Note from Rabiah (Host):

Those who live with a chronic illness have an understanding of others in the same position, even when the illnesses are different. I had not heard of EDS before meeting with Aunia but we understood some common issues we have as she lives with EDS and I live with Multiple Sclerosis. As the reader, you are facing your own challenges too. This chat felt like a talk with a friend who had done a lot of work and was meeting me at the level where I feel like I’m gotten to and that is a compliment. I hope you feel the same as you listen or it helps get you there!
