Summary

This week we’re continuing our exploration of the intersection of wellness and creativity. According to research, creative expression can support feelings of motivation and overall well-being. However, many people have aversions to creativity due to bias, perfectionism, and fear of failure or not creating a perfect result.

To wrap up our series on New Life and Creativity we’re talking to our guest Cristina Martinez about how she’s found healing through creativity, and how creativity has influenced her career and relationships.

Cristina Martinez is a contemporary visual artist based in Seattle, Washington. Her career started in fashion school before she explored self-expression through painting. Cristina’s work is rooted in telling the often-overlooked stories of Black and Brown people, encouraging them to water themselves to bloom and grow in this journey called life.

This conversation inspires us all to tap into our creativity for healing, and a deeper connection to our loved ones and ourselves.

We Also Talk About…

  • How our relationship with creativity can evolve over time.
  • Ways to draw inspiration when you need it most.
  • The ups and downs of having a creative career.
  • How Cristina supports her kids’ creativity.
  • The ways creativity can help us bloom, and what it means to bloom.
  • How collaboration and community can foster creativity.
