One tip would be to forgive. We're all going to be hurt by someone else or ourselves again, usually not on purpose.
What do forgiveness, music, and lima beans have in common? They all feature in Samantha Simons' chat with Jessica Sanchez, a potter and advocate from Northern Virginia. In this episode of 'The Lion's Pen', Jessica opens up about her journey with ceramics and how the creative process has been a lifeline for her mental health. She shares a refreshing take on life: make a mess, clean it up, and if it doesn't work out, start over.
This philosophy doesn't just apply to pottery but to life's many challenges as well. Jessica emphasizes the importance of appreciating one's own art while also being an audience for others, fostering a community of mutual respect and inspiration. The episode takes a heartfelt turn as Jessica discusses her battle with eating disorders and the significance of individualized therapy. She touches on the idea that mental health is health, period. One of her key messages is the transformative power of forgiveness.
As she puts it, 'One tip would be to forgive. We're all going to be hurt by someone else or ourselves again, usually not on purpose'. The conversation also explores how music can be a source of inspiration and how hope can sometimes bring even better experiences than we imagined. And yes, there’s a quirky bit about lima beans that you’ll have to listen to understand!
Whether you're an artist, someone on a recovery journey, or just looking for a dose of inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights into the healing power of art and the importance of hope and forgiveness.
