My first guest interview is with a long time friend. She is an educator, working on her 2nd Master's degree, who loves to draw, reflect, and motivate her students to exercise their full potential. Hear what inspires her and how she balances a creative lifestyle.
Poetry, my first love. I share my personal and professional experiences with writing as a wellness tool. Plus, hear 2 original poems: "Art & Pain" and "Tick, Tock".
I talk about why and how I incorporate Mr. Bob Ross, television artist, into my sessions. Sharing tips on how you could use his show as a guide and resource as well.
I partake in an art rendezvous with some close friends. I describe the event using a mindfulness tool and talk about why having fun at these specific outings is part of my self care practice.
A quick check in on the "homework exercise" with insight building discussion prompts. Then, we list the places to go and the materials and supplies to find. From your brushes to your fingers, I make personal recommendations on what to get to start or restock your tool box.
An introduction to the series. I explain the purpose of this new podcast and the mental health incentives of using basic expressive interventions. I invite The Listener to provide feedback to help me formulate the next episodes. And I end with a homework assignment! A mindfulness task to get you started on this journey.
