Just Keep Talking
Podcast Description
The Just Keep Talking podcast aims to explore the creative process, mental health, and lives of artists through sharing our stories. What is the impact of mental health on creativity? What does it mean to be a creative individual—Someone who feels deeply, experiences joy and pain intensely, and navigates the challenges of life through the creative process? With each story shared, we explore the authentic experience of our basic need to be seen, be heard, and belong. We’re not so different from one another. Through sharing our stories, we can inspire, encourage, and enlighten each other to find the true joy and fulfillment that is within ourselves. This is the connective tissue of the collective human experience. When we just keep talking, we create space for gratitude, self-acceptance, and grace in everyday life. In a world filled with divisiveness, fostering inclusivity and connection is a powerful way to make a positive impact.
Be seen. Be heard. Belong.
Your story matters.
