In this episode, I open up and share my experiences with having an obsessive compulsive mind throughout my life, the damage it has done in different parts of my life and the gifts it has given me within my art making and teaching practice. I talk about struggling through an eating disorder, my relationship with alcohol, how this obsessive compulsive energy has shown up in relationships and how it has helped me to delve deeply into so many different artistic mediums and creative realms throughout my life.

I mention a class I took with Myree Morsi called, "Sacred Sensitivity" for highly sensitive people. Myree is a spiritual healer, trauma therapist and incredible person. You can learn more about her and the classes she offers here: https://myree.com.au/.
