Ep 170 - Not Perfect—Devoted: The Voice of Authentic Service with Foster Wilson (2/4 Generator, Right Angle Cross of Service)

The Provoking Prosperity Podcast I Supporting Creatives to Break Free From The Constraints of Conformity & Infuse Their Business With Purpose & Authenticity

Welcome back to the Provoking Prosperity podcast! In this episode, host Miranda Mitchell sits down with Foster Wilson—poet, author, postpartum doula, and soulful storyteller whose life and work beautifully exemplify authentic service and self-expression. Together, they dive deep into the intertwining worlds of creativity and caregiving, exploring how Foster’s journey through independent film, poetry, and supporting new parents has always been rooted in connection, presence, and fierce compassion.

Foster opens up about her transformative experiences with motherhood, grief, and the ongoing process of letting go of perfectionism—a journey illuminated by her Human Design as a 2/4 Generator on the Right Angle Cross of Service. She shares her approach to writing as sanctuary and mirror, the power of creative expression even in moments of survival, and the importance of trusting one’s inner wisdom amidst society’s clamor for external validation.

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to anyone in transition, caretakers who are creators, and all those wondering if their voice matters. Let Foster’s story remind you: your presence is service, your voice is medicine, and the truest gift you can offer the world is the real, imperfect, luminous expression of who you are.
