Jonas' Journey: Art, Sobriety, and Mental Health

So, instead of destructing yourself, you do it this creational work, and that's therapeutic in itself and you can watch the artifact that you created and then you can reflect on it.
Ever wondered how a visual artist navigates the ups and downs of creativity without alcohol? In this episode, Josh and Jessica sit down with Jonas, an accomplished artist who's been sober for over a year. Jonas shares his candid experiences of balancing art and mental health, including a harrowing time when overwork landed him in a mental hospital.
He opens up about how sobriety has transformed his creative process, making it not just a means of expression but also a therapeutic outlet. From discussing the importance of self-care to embracing change in his artistic practice, Jonas provides a raw and inspiring look into the life of a sober artist. His story is a testament to the power of art in healing and self-discovery.
Whether you're an artist yourself or simply curious about the intersection of creativity and sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt reflections.
