Crafting Wellness: Dr. Zoe Watson's Creative Path to Mental Health
My motto in making creativity is a verb: just pick the thing you want to do and you do it.
What if the key to better mental health lies in your own two hands? In this episode, Dr. Jude, also known as Dr. Body Mind Soul, sits down with Dr. Zoe Watson, a GP who has turned her passion for creativity into a lifeline for mental well-being. Dr.
Watson, the founder of Make and Create, shares her own struggles with mental health and how the limitations she faced as a GP led her to explore creative outlets as a form of self-care. From making jewelry to crafting candles, Dr. Watson's workshops and DIY kits are designed to help people 'meditate with their hands' and find solace in artistic expression.
But she’s clear: Make and Create isn't a substitute for professional therapy; it's a way to enhance your mental wellness journey. If you’re curious about how creativity can be a soothing balm for anxiety and stress, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Watson's story is a testament to the healing power of art and the importance of finding new ways to support mental health in challenging times.
