Get Back to Creativity that Actually Helps Your Mental Health with Gemma Correll

New Episode + 10 Creative Coaching Slots Open Now

Most of us start making things because on some level it feels good! It feels like a meditation. It brings flow. It helps us process.

But if you ever get serious about your work, you may also accidentally lose all these positives and replace them with negative side effects like pressure, anxiety, and even despair.

If you want to get back to the kind of creative practice that lifts you up instead of triggers you, this episode is for you!

Gemma Correll is a world-renowned illustrator and cartoonist with one of the most personal and practical creative practices that I know of. She has been art journaling way before it was cool, and it’s turned into a cathartic experience that she now shares with the world through her online comics and now her phenomenal graphic memoir “Anxietyland”.

We discuss:

1 - How to access that energy of making just for yourself before you think about anyone else.

2 - The power and pitfalls of mixing creativity with your mental health.

3 - What type of creative community we hope to see evolve in a post-social media-centric world.
