The Powering Politics Podcast is available six times a week, but you might not be.

If you want to catch up on what happened this week in politics, join me, Laura Dangelow and some of Canada's most tuned-in political strategists to break down the week that was.

Short on time, the weekly wrap has you covered with a new episode every Saturday.

This is a CBC podcast.

Hey, folks, this week on the podcast, we are diving into the world of art therapy, or at least art as a therapy, specifically with our friend Kiriana, who is a watercolor artist.

Kiriana lives with chronic pain, and her art has become not only a creative outlet, but literally a form of her own therapy,

which allows her to express her symptoms and raise awareness for others living with

invisible illnesses.

Kariana opens up about the challenges of living with a condition that others can't see.

From the disbelief and the gaslighting that she's faced to the struggle

of finding an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

We also explore how Karyana uses her art to represent the experiences of people with chronic

conditions, creating portraits that are as much about the catharsis

as they are about raising awareness.

Kind of a lot like this podcast, to be honest with you.

Curiana's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of validation, empathy, and

understanding.

We loved this conversation.

We know you will too.

And folks, look, before we dive in, I just want to remind you changing the way that

the world thinks about illness, death, and all things medicine, it is a group effort.

And we need your help.
