Embracing Your Creative Side for Balance and Resilience
Navigating uncertain periods of life can leave us feeling lost, stressed, or disconnected from ourselves. What if the antidote isn’t perfection, but playful, everyday creativity?
In this episode of the The Change Effect, I explore how creative rituals—big and small—can serve as powerful anchors during life’s stormier seasons. We'll break down the science and soul behind creative practices that support emotional resilience and nervous system regulation.

In this episode, I discuss:
- Why creativity isn’t a talent reserved for a gifted few, but an innate resource we can all access—especially in times of transition.
- The science of how creative activities like doodling, writing, and crafting help calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety.
- Easy, approachable creative rituals to try, from daily doodling and free-writing to assembling memory boxes, collage, and photo walks.
- Deeper immersive practices like gratitude photo journals, memory voice memos, or letters to your past or future self.
- How reframing creativity as play, meditation, and connection makes it less about achievement and more about authentic self-expression.
- A simple exercise: splitting a page into “What Drains Me” and “What Lights Me Up” to discover activities that nurture your spirit.
Whether you identify as “creative” or not, this episode will give you tools and encouragement to weave more creativity into your daily routine and discover how self-expression can help ground, heal, and reconnect you to your own strength.
