The Story Behind The Art Remedy Podcast – Episode 1

Somewhere between the chaos of adulting, the pressure to "have it all together," and the weight of loss, I lost my joy. Not all at once—but slowly, subtly. Responsibilities piled up. Grief snuck in. And little by little, I stopped creating. I stopped drawing. I stopped doing the one thing that used to bring me peace.

But in the quiet moments—when I had nothing left but a sketchbook and the urge to feel something again—I started to draw. Not for anyone else. Not for perfection. Just for me. And that’s when the healing began.

Art became my remedy. A safe place to process, to release, to rediscover myself. It wasn’t about making something beautiful—it was about feeling. About giving myself permission to be messy, honest, and free.

This is why I started The Art Remedy Podcast.

In this very first episode, I share my journey—how I navigated grief, reconnected with my inner artist, and found meaning through creativity. This podcast isn’t just for artists. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like life swallowed up their spark.

If you’re craving a way to reconnect—with yourself, your joy, your purpose—I hope this space feels like a breath of fresh air. You deserve that. We all do.

Let’s redefine creativity—not as a career path, but as a path back to ourselves.
