Make no mistake: Trauma is coming for us all.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed our lives: it was a global collective trauma. We had to ‘stay home’ so we did what we could to cope… We got creative.
We baked bread, we knitted, we held trivia nights on Zoom. Heck, some of us even turned that side hustle into a business!
So while it was a devastating experience, it also yielded huge positive side effects, too. And we’re only JUST beginning to process and understanding its impact.
But for so long, the conversation surrounding trauma has been a negative one. Yes, treatment for those in crisis is vital… but what happens after the crisis is over? And what can we do to bolster ourselves before the inevitable strikes again?
We can get creative.

Sign up to The Creative Urge and I’ll whisper spicy truths (the opposite of sweet nothings) in your ear.
I’m unafraid to tackle the more uncomfortable aspects of what happens AFTER you get the urge to create – we’re talking grief, obsession, trauma and much, much more.
It’s like a pep talk that both stings and soothes in equal measure…

“There’s never been a better time to get creative. Even though it feels like the world is one big dumpster fire and there’s no point to any of it, let me tell you: it’s the small things that make the biggest difference. Understanding post-traumatic growth and activating it by getting creative is how you move the needle. The best part? You’re not alone anymore. I’m here and we’re going for broke!”
