Hi, thanks for stopping by! Life is full of challenges that can be difficult to overcome and I'm sure you've experienced some already. Maybe you've lost someone close to you, or had a parent who wasn't present, a friend who betrayed you or perhaps you've changed your religious beliefs and have had to leave your community. When you face obstacles like these, how do you break them down? Join me, Rachel Pierman, the CEO of CraftyMonkies, a platform I created where people can come together online and in person to pursue their creative passions. I've met some incredible artists, quilters, painters, and spiritual and entrepreneurial individuals in the last few years who've shared with me such inspirational stories that just had to be heard. I'm sure my guests and I can inspire you through their real-life experiences to live a more powerful, happy and fulfilling life, maybe even find your soul's true purpose and 'break your blocks’ in the process!You don't need to be an artist to listen, but I firmly believe creativity can help you with anxiety and depression, according to The Adobe Foundation and National Alliance on Mental Illness, more than 60% of young people surveyed reported an improved sense of confidence through painting, writing or any form of creative expression. Creativity has changed my life, it's helped me to process my thoughts and feelings, and created an inner sense of calm and peace that had long been missing from my life. So what can creativity do for YOU dear listener, and how can it help you to overcome life's challenges? If you subscribe to our podcast you might just find the answer! I'd love to have you here as we set off on this podcast journey together!www.breakingtheblocks.com Instagram @breakingtheblocks Facebook @breakingtheblocksYouTube @CraftyMonkies (playlist: Breaking The Blocks)www.craftymonkies.comwww.rachelpierman.com
