Creatively Constipated: My journey to re-claiming and unblocking my creativity

Dr. Lori ( Lori-Linell Hollins MD)  describes her perilous journey ( yes, perilous) from being creatively constipated to getting unblocked and pursuing a creative calling.  Many of us have buried, and tamped down our creativity to fit into a box and our living someone else's life.  We do what we think we have to do to survive.  However, this comes at a high cost.  Though many factors went into to my Lori apocalypse; the consistent theme was that I was not being my authentic self.  Yes, it sounds cliche, but it's true.  You can run, but you can't hide.  You can't hide from your self.  I define creativity, what it means to be creatively constipated, and how almost losing my life propelled me into my creative calling.   I posit that art and creativity in any form, but especially comedy and humor are necessary and required life skills.  To live without them is to be joyless i.e. the real walking dead..
