What happens when an artist transforms her deepest moments into a thriving community of artists? In this deeply moving episode, returning guest Becky Joan Springer reveals how she turned personal struggles into a powerful artistic practice that now fills international retreats and creates healing spaces for others. 

Her journey from teaching local workshops to hosting sold-out retreats across the world proves that authenticity, and owning your voice, are really all you need to thrive as an artist.
