ARTIST’S WAY WEEK 3: Shame, Synchronicities & Healing Through Art

In Week 3 of The Artist’s Way, I explore the theme of shame and how it lives in the body, the stories we inherit from family, and the ways it can disconnect us from our creativity and self trust. This video became more personal than I expected, but I'm going to post it anyways. I speak about synchronicities, generational trauma, mental health, and my experiences surrounding suicide and healing through art. (TW: discussions of mental health, suicide, and family trauma.) Alongside these reflections, I spend the day gathering seeds from the plant store and planting them in honor of my cat, Muxu, who recently passed away. A loving ritual for grief in honor of his love. Art has continuously brought me back to myself, especially during the moments I thought I was too broken, ashamed, or lost to create. This video is an honest entry in that process. _______ If you'd like to receive an original mini painting and handwritten letter in your mailbox each month, join my Mail Club!
