Considering the fact that my teenage kid and I both constantly carry our music in our back pockets, I don't know how I survived high school and college without an mp3 player.
Feeling stuck in your creative pursuits? You're not alone. In this thought-provoking episode of Recovery Road, host William Moyers delves into the transformative power of creativity for those in recovery. Drawing from Jennifer Matesa's book, The Recovering Body, the episode highlights how art, music, and storytelling can be vital tools for emotional well-being, especially during challenging times like a pandemic. Matesa reassures us that creative blocks and self-doubt are temporary and emphasizes the importance of persevering through these moments.
Through a conversation with a young musician named Mikey, she explains that creativity isn't just magic; it's a unique tool that requires hard work and discipline to master. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that recovery offers a unique opportunity to explore and cultivate our creative sides, helping us connect both with the world around us and our inner selves.
