Hello there! Today, I get to introduce you to a special person. Kelsi Folsom is a poet and classically-trained singer making her home with her physician-husband and four children. She's the author of four poetry collections, including her brand new book, Beauty Still Lives Here  and Breaking the Jar She has work published in numerous journals.

Kelsi is currently a graduate student in Theopoetics and Writing at Bethany Theological Seminary and is a passionate advocate for the creative arts shaping culture in the form of hospitality, advocacy, reconciliation, and mental health. 

Today, we are jumping into a fascinating conversation about the importance of creativity when it comes to healing. We know that health is not stagnant, it is constantly changing, and having a mindset that allows for play, and wonder, and art in its many forms is often a crucial piece of healing – as you’ll hear Kelsi talk about, embracing creativity can help us to find meaning and hope, even when facing hardship.

I hope today’s conversation blesses you and inspires you to get back in touch with your playful self. And when you finish listening, I encourage you to check out her book and find her Instagram for more content.

Thank you for listening!
