You do not owe anyone your story.

In this deeply grounding episode, Tina explores creativity as containment rather than confession — a place where healing can happen privately, gently, and on your own terms.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt pressure to share their pain before they were ready, or who has found that vulnerability sometimes feels more exposing than healing.

You'll hear reflections on:

• Why oversharing can interrupt healing

• The difference between connection and exposure

• Using creativity to hold emotion without explanation

• Safe creative practices like hidden journaling, metaphor, and intentional stopping

This episode offers permission, protection, and a reminder that privacy is not avoidance — it's wisdom.

🌿 Healing can be quiet. And still real.

Love is so much bigger than romance — and your scrapbook deserves to reflect that truth.

In this episode, Tina expands the conversation around love to include chosen family, deep friendships, community connections, and the quiet relationships that help us feel seen and supported.

You'll explore:

• Why romantic love is over-centered in memory keeping

• Honoring chosen family and non-traditional relationships

• Documenting belonging without big milestones

• Creative prompts for telling connection-centered stories

This episode is affirming, inclusive, and especially resonant for LGBTQ+ creatives, survivors, caregivers, and anyone building meaningful connection outside traditional narratives.

💛 Your relationships matter. All of them.

February can feel heavy — full of expectations, romance-centered messaging, and pressure to feel a certain way. In this opening episode of our February series, Tina invites you to step off the productivity treadmill and into a gentler relationship with creativity.

This episode explores self-love not as a buzzword, but as a practice of permission. A way of tending yourself creatively without rushing, fixing, or performing.

You'll hear reflections on:

• Why creativity can start to feel demanding instead of nourishing

• How self-love looks like listening, stopping, and honoring limits

• Reframing "unfinished" as intentional care

• A simple creative practice for restoring gentleness and trust

This episode is especially supportive for scrapbookers, card makers, and creative souls navigating burnout, trauma recovery, chronic illness, or emotionally tender seasons.

✨ You are allowed to create exactly as you are.
