Painting Your Path
If you’ve asked yourself “Am I living the life I want to live or have I been living for someone else?” Maybe you’re 40+ and asking: “What do I really want to do when I grow up?” If so, this podcast is for you. It’s time for you to do the thing you’ve been waiting to do but maybe didn’t think it was possible. Here’s what I know: You can be, do, and have whatever you set your mind to. Create life on your terms. This podcast features interviews with inspiring people who share their stories about stepping out and creating a life they love. You can also expect solo episodes where I share what’s on my mind and heart, all to help you continue to paint your path.
Painting Your Path
What If Your Next Prescription Was Creativity?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if wellbeing wasn’t only about what we consume—but also about what we practice?
In this solo episode of Painting Your Path™, I explore the growing movement of Social Prescribing and why activities like movement, creativity, and community are becoming recognized as powerful tools for supporting mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
Drawing from my own experiences navigating grief, spasmodic dysphonia, and recovery after the Eaton Fire, I share why healing often requires more than thinking our way through life’s challenges.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- What Social Prescribing is and why it’s gaining attention worldwide
- The science-backed benefits of movement for stress, anxiety, and emotional wellbeing
- How creativity can support healing, self-expression, and recovery
- Why community plays a vital role in resilience and rebuilding after difficult experiences
- A simple reflection question to help identify the care you may be missing right now
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready to reconnect with yourself, this episode offers a gentle reminder that healing can be found in small practices that bring us back to life.
Reflection Question
Instead of asking:
“What’s wrong with me?”
Try asking:
“What matters to me?”
