Making Conversation

Ep. 128 // mental health & the beautiful benefits of the act of making w/ Tamanna Rahman & Jen Joyce


Listen Later

Tamanna joins Jen on the podcast this week to talk about the beautiful moments that can occur when the act of making is a part of our mental health toolbox. 

They get vulnerable and share their own journeys, cover how making can be beneficial for your mental health, and then Tamanna leads us in a lovely mini exercise where you'll create art that's connected to one of your meaningful memories.

Tamanna owns her own psychiatry practice and has been working in the mental health field for over a decade.  She also runs workshops that connect crafting and mental health with Slow Work Sewing.
Her current workshop is called Speak, Memory: Stitch a Botanical Sampler Rooted in Personal History.  Click to find out more

Jen talks about her toolkit, which includes her ADHD Coach: Heather Pierucki!
