You Have the Power - The Road to Truth, Freedom and Real Connection

62: Messy, Beautiful, and Real - Healing and Emotional Resilience Through Art with Susan Day


Listen Later

Sometimes words just aren’t enough. You can analyze, journal, and talk through your pain—but your body still remembers what your mind is trying to forget.

In this episode, Darla sits down with Mindful Arts Therapist Susan Day, who’s redefining what healing looks like through creativity, mindfulness, and play. Together they explore how art, movement, and even “messy expression” can help women process emotions, calm their nervous systems, and rebuild self-trust—without needing to say a word.

You’ll hear how coloring, painting, or crafting can unlock parts of yourself that talk therapy can’t reach, why “making mistakes” is essential to healing, and how art teaches us the most powerful lesson of all: you can keep working on it, and it’s still beautiful.

Susan also shares insights on women who’ve spent years being told they’re “too much”—why they often feel guilt or shame for standing out, and how creativity can help them reclaim peace, confidence, and a deeper sense of wholeness.

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t supposed to look perfect. It’s supposed to be yours.

If you’re ready to stop shrinking, embrace your individuality, and discover new ways to feel whole again, this conversation will open a new doorway back to yourself.
