EP 50: The Healing Power of Creativity with AnaKacia Shifflet
AnaKacia Shifflett is a talented gown designer from Rye, Colorado, and the founder of Averil Marie Collections. Known for her mix-and-match pieces and custom gowns, her designs quickly gained popularity across several western states. After contracting COVID-19 and developing long-haul symptoms, AnaKacia paused her flourishing business to focus on her health and family. She now advocates for others with chronic illnesses, using her passion for art and design as a source of healing and connection.
Key Takeaways:
Emotional Outlet Through Creativity:
AnaKacia used art, particularly throwing paint at a wedding gown, as a means to process her frustration and emotional turmoil from long COVID, turning pain into a therapeutic expression.
Community Support:
The chronic illness community provided a compassionate and understanding network that helped AnaKacia feel less isolated and more supported in her journey.
Integration of Passions:
She successfully integrated her love for fashion, art, and writing, allowing these passions to merge organically, which provided significant therapeutic benefits and led to broader recognition.
Importance of Allowing Inspiration:
AnaKacia emphasized the power of allowing things to happen organically rather than forcing them, resulting in unexpected and beautiful outcomes in her creative projects.
Personal Healing Methods:
Key components of her healing process include fasting, hyperbaric therapy, and swimming, each contributing to effectively managing her long COVID symptoms and improving her overall well-being.
