In this episode, Michelle and Lauren explore how creativity can be a secret weapon against anxiety, worry, and fear. They share personal stories—from road rage mishaps to their legendary Grandma Manos —and reflect on the power of live music, friendship, and simple joys.
They dive into the role of creativity in mental health, especially during postpartum struggles, highlighting how artistic expression (yes, even bad doodles count) can bring mindfulness, emotional release, and a much-needed sense of accomplishment.
Along the way, they also discuss Yacht Rock’s undeniable charm, the unexpected politics of Greenland, and why your next creative endeavor doesn’t have to be a masterpiece, just an outlet for joy.
Tune in for laughs, insight, and a reminder that creativity isn't just for artists. It's for anyone looking to worry a little less and live a little more.
