Create a Visual Gratitude Board Draw, collage, or paint images of the things that bring you joy. Display it somewhere to remind yourself of the beauty in your life. Or little collage gift cards for others like Heather and I do! 3. Mindful Doodling or Coloring Take 10 minutes to sketch or color without judgment.

    Creative Healing: The Power of Art Therapy with Leah Guzman

    On this week’s Colour Me Happy podcast, we’re thrilled to have a new episode with amazing art therapist Leah Guzman join us! Leah dives deep into the incredible benefits of art as therapy, not just for youth but for adults too. We chat about how creativity has the power to heal, connect, and inspire. Leah’s work shows that making art isn’t just about creating something visually appealing—it’s a way to explore your emotions, process difficult feelings, and even form stronger bonds with those around you. One of the standout ideas Leah shares is how art can be a bridge, especially when working with youth. Engaging in creative activities together allows adults and kids to build deeper connections, develop trust, and understand one another in a unique way that talking might not achieve. She also emphasizes the healing power of creativity, showing how it helps manage stress, anxiety, and emotional struggles in both children and adults. Here are two top tips from Leah about the benefits of creativity and connection: Healing Through Creativity: Using art as a therapeutic tool allows individuals to express themselves without the pressure of words, helping to release built-up emotions and process trauma or stress in a healthy, constructive way. Strengthening Bonds Through Shared Art: When adults and youth create art together, it strengthens their relationship, building a bridge of understanding, trust, and empathy that goes beyond verbal communication. Tune in to hear more from Leah on how you can harness the power of creativity in your own life to heal, grow, and connect with others! If you're ready to deepen your creative practice, check out Leah's program and book HERE: Essential Art as Therapy for Youth.

    From Dreams to Reality: Empowering Creatives with Elli Milan Founder of Milan Institute

    In this inspiring throwback episode, we sit down with the visionary Elli Milan, founder of the Milan Institute and Author of Unemployable. Learn how Elli transformed her dreams into an ever-growing online creative institute that empowers artists worldwide. She shares her journey from an idea to building a thriving business, and how she’s challenging societal views of what it means to be an artist. Elli also dives into two valuable tips for overcoming societal expectations and embracing your creative dreams. If you’re an artist looking to take your passion to the next level, this is one episode you won’t want to miss! Here are two tips that Elli Milan might offer for overcoming societal expectations as a creative: Redefine Success on Your Terms: Elli emphasizes that the traditional idea of success—whether in terms of money, fame, or status—doesn’t have to dictate your creative path. Instead, define success by what fulfills you as an artist. Focus on personal growth, expression, and creating art that resonates with you, rather than fitting into societal molds. Own Your Identity as an Artist: Society often undervalues the role of artists, but Elli encourages creatives to embrace their identity fully. Claiming the title of "artist" with confidence allows you to break free from external expectations and open yourself to opportunities. Trust in your creative vision and surround yourself with people who celebrate that. These tips empower artists to navigate and overcome external pressures, allowing for more freedom in creative expression!
