Creative Recovery is a community of artists, healers, activists, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking to nourish a creative relationship to life. In this podcast, we explore creativity as an agent of healing and social change. I am your host, Brenna, writer, editor, and coach. I’m inspired to help listeners open to play, process, and the unknown. Join me as I step into conversation with people of diverse backgrounds and identities committed to creative living. Creative Recovery will help anyone tap into their inner resources and live a life of presence and joy.
