You know, that's why morning pages are so important, you know, kind of like brain dumping and getting things out of us and onto something. It almost feels like an exorcism, right, like I'm getting it out of my head, into a notebook, um or the computer, and just depositing it like for use later.
Ever wondered how creativity can become a lifeline in recovery? In this episode of The Unruffled Podcast, hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas sit down with Laura Ward, a Connecticut-based mom, wife, and public relations professional who has transformed her life through sobriety and creative expression.
