In mythology, the phoenix is a bird that rises from the ashes in a blaze of fire. In the grieving process, it is important to allow for the period of dormancy or rest before we burst forward in transformation. Writer, Actor, and Educator Angela Apodaca embodies this cycle and journey so beautifully and joins Jenn on the podcast to share her story of how her grief has led her to immense creative expression. Angela speaks to the transition from the hardness of fresh grief to softening into those emotions through connection and creativity, tips for letting go of perfectionism, and the power of putting ourselves into creative spaces for healing and inspiration. Angela and Jenn both push listeners to courage stack: to take one brave baby step at a time until you have achieved your goals. Listen for heaps of encouragement in your grief and creative journey.
