In this episode, I dive into why painting can be a powerful form of self-care and emotional expression, especially for highly sensitive introverts.

Drawing from my own journey with watercolors and soft pastels, I share how creating art has helped me find peace during overwhelming moments and process complex emotions when words fail. I explore the unique benefits of painting - from its sensory-friendly nature to its meditative qualities - and explain why it's particularly well-suited for HSPs and introverts.

Whether you're struggling with intense emotions or simply seeking a new way to nurture yourself, I offer practical tips for getting started with painting, choosing supplies, and using art as a tool for emotional wellness. Come discover how putting brush to paper might just become your favorite way to find calm and express yourself.
