Ad Yack: Season 6, Episode 3: Abriella Milazzo

Welcome to AdYack—the podcast where we explore the messy, magical, and wildly misunderstood world of creativity, with people bold enough to actually live it.

Today, I sit down with Abriella Milazzo—she’s a yoga instructor, a holistic educator, an artist and an author of two books, whose work exists at the crossroads of movement, mindfulness, and imagination.

Here’s the thing about Abriella: she doesn’t just practice creativity—she embodies it. The way she teaches, the way she writes, the way she simply walks through the world—it all comes from a place of wonder. For her, creativity isn’t a light switch—it’s the foundation she builds her life on.

In this conversation, we get into:

• Why creativity is still so misunderstood—and why we box it in as “art” or “aesthetic.”
• What it looks like to reclaim creativity as a raw human instinct, not just a polished professional skill.
• How Abriella keeps her creative flow alive when life is messy, uncertain, or uninspired.
• And yes—we even detoured into Jonathan Livingston Seagull, that strange little 1970s book that cracked me open in a completely unexpected way.

At its heart, this episode is about remembering—remembering the creative pulse that’s always been inside you, even if you were told to bury it.

If you’ve ever thought creativity was something you lost, missed, or didn’t have permission to claim—this one’s for you. Because the truth is, creativity isn’t something you find. It’s something you finally decide to live.
