In this episode Dr. Lori talks about one of the darkest moments in her life: divorce.  She always wanted to be married, but the last 7 years of her 23 year marriage Dr. Lori realized she was in an abusive relationship carrying all of the weight.  The only way to survive was to leave, despite a child still at home.   She ended up moving and living in her mother's basement, a metaphor for her life, working a necessary job in a toxic environment, while still supporting her family financially and materially as best she could.  Art classes allowed her a joyful respite and these creative baby steps got her to where she needed to go: a divorce,  eventually standup comedy, and the healing of herself and family.  Dr. Lori went from the basement to the 44th floor over a 10 year period.  With her hard won knowledge and wisdom she wants to shorten the creativity learning curve for other physician creatives.
