The idea of you can attach to the essence, but you can't attach to the past. Right, you should have a vision for something in your life, but the idea of you don't get to control how you get there and you have to be open to all the different winds and curves and detours and whatever, and the more that you fight against, fight to stay on the path that you think is your path right, which it never is. That's where the war with reality starts.
What happens when art meets activism? In this episode of the 'Recover Yourself' podcast, host MartinJon sits down with Shannon Downey, a dynamic artist and craftivist known for her impactful projects. Shannon, the creative force behind initiatives like BadAssCrossStitch and BadAssHERstory, shares her journey of blending creativity with social change. From cross-stitch patterns that challenge the patriarchy to global projects that amplify women's voices, Shannon's work is about more than just art—it's about sparking conversations and inspiring action.
During their chat, MartinJon and Shannon dive into how craftivism can be a powerful tool for personal growth and societal transformation. They touch on the importance of meditation, the necessity of shedding old identities, and finding balance in a digital world. If you're curious about how to use your creative talents to make a difference or simply want to hear from a truly inspiring individual, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in to discover how you can become a badass in your own right and contribute to meaningful change.
