  • Creativity as a Safe Place: Healing Without Oversharing
    Feb 18 2026

    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.

    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

    Jan 7 2026

    Today we're talking about what it means to choose heart-led intentions, especially when you're coming from a place of exhaustion, healing, or overwhelm.

    Instead of asking what should I do this year?
    We ask:
    What feels true?
    What feels supportive?
    What feels kind?

    Creativity becomes a compass — not a performance.
