This tender podcast interview shares Stephanie Porcello’s experience of finding healing after suffering a traumatic concussion and changing careers from audiologist to full-time artist. 

When one instant completely changed her life, Stephanie couldn’t return to her usual activities. She discovered new ways to connect with herself and the world around her. Creating abstract paintings full of chaos and calm allowed her to tap into her intuition and find healing. Her asymmetrical paintings offer her audience a moment of rest to remind them that they are not alone.  

Her bold message is that beauty and hope exist within life’s perfectly imperfect moments.  Making a habit of listening and acting on your instincts will help you live a fulfilling life. And remember, learning to trust yourself takes practice. 

About our Guest:  

Stephanie Porcello is a contemporary abstract painter living in Upstate NY. While healing from a concussion in 2017, she started to explore her “what ifs” and trust her intuition. She is inspired by music while she allows for her creative expression. Turning inward ultimately led her to an unexpected career shift from audiologist to full-time artist.

In this episode, Misty speaks with Laurie Gabriel, author of Eyes of Wonder: How to Recapture Your Childlike Spirit.  

The qualities you embraced as a child still exist inside of you: speaking your mind honestly, noticing the beauty in ordinary objects, not judging others on their appearance, and seeing the world as a giant playground. If you are feeling bored, disillusioned, unhappy, angry, or stuck, there are techniques you can use to grab onto that part of you that is dauntless, optimistic, and joyful. It just takes a little practice. 

About our Guest:  

Spending much of her life in a classroom with middle-schoolers, Laurie Gabriel learned to cultivate a childlike spirit!  Her experiences as a teacher culminated in a book and a program that helps people reconnect with the qualities that came naturally to all of us as children: imagination, presence, play, creativity, and the idea that everyone is a potential friend.
