Embracing Our Creative Escapes

“A distraction is momentary. An escape helps you heal.”

When I first heard this phrase, I knew I had to talk about it! 

Listen to this episode:

A creative escape — a daydream, an intense new focus, a passion that might seem silly or superficial to others — is so much more than it seems. So many of us turn to our imagination and creativity when times are challenging, or in situations where we have very little control. It’s more than just a temporary distraction. It’s how we heal! 

These little escapes were a huge source of joy and healing for me while going through cancer treatments. When I couldn’t control all of my circumstances, I turned inward, and poured my energy into those creative outlets. Those moments helped bring me clarity, comfort, and confidence, and more importantly, helped me evolve into the person I am today. 

In this show, we’ll unpack: 

• Why exactly creative escapes matter so much, and how to lean into them 
• The power of embracing challenging times and learning how to thrive through them 
• Using creative escapes to take charge of our lives, and bounce back even stronger 
• How pursuing what makes you passionate, even when it doesn’t seem like a big deal, can lead toward future success 

Come with me, and we’ll explore all the wonderful things our minds can accomplish — if we’re willing to listen to our own creativity!
