Creating a piece of art and then that art, creating an emotion in somebody else... you know, that's our purpose.
What happens when creativity meets recovery? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, host Blu Robinson sits down with Donel Ward, the Art Director of Addict II Artist in Elko, Nevada. Donel's story is a testament to the healing power of art and its role in transforming lives affected by addiction. She opens up about her personal battle with addiction and how finding her artistic voice became a crucial part of her recovery journey.
The Addict II Artist program, an offshoot of the Addict II Athlete community, has given Donel and many others a new sense of purpose and direction. Through their conversation, Blu and Donel discuss how art can break down stigmas, foster self-love, and build self-respect. They also touch on the importance of supportive relationships in recovery and how the Addict II Artist program helps participants navigate these complex dynamics.
This episode is not just about art; it's about finding hope and meaning in unexpected places. If you're curious about how creative expression can aid in overcoming addiction or if you need a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
