As I unveiled the intricate layers of my poem "This Is Us," also fondly known as "I Indite" on social platforms, I discovered an unexpected sanctuary within its lines. It's a space where joy and sorrow dance together, where the paradoxes of being human come to light. This episode of Breathe is a heartfelt recount of embracing life's rich contradictions and finding growth in the unlikeliest of places. I guide you through the transformative journey of completing this very poem, a process that both shattered and rebuilt me, offering a testament to the healing power of poetry and self-awareness. Just as a cracked canvas can hold a masterpiece, so too can our fragmented selves harbor the seeds of profound happiness and understanding.  In our shared quest for mindfulness and artistic expression, I reveal the colorful threads that weave together my life as both a wellness expert and an artist. From the peaceful guidance of meditation and the discipline of pilates to the insightful depths of cognitive behavior therapy, each aspect complements my creative soul as a musician, poet, and writer. This episode is an open invitation for you to nurture your own multifaceted journey—encouraging growth, mindfulness, and creativity as we co-create the tapestry of life. Join me in fostering an environment where your own artistic flair can bloom, and discover how intentionality can illuminate the art of living.
