Are you feeling stuck, burned out, or just going through the motions? In this episode, I share my raw, personal story of hitting rock bottom as an executive chef—and how creativity, art, and play helped me find hope and purpose again.
You’ll hear about:
The warning signs of burnout and depression
The panic attack that changed everything
How small creative acts like Play-Doh, music, and art can help you heal
Why creativity is for everyone—not just artists
A challenge to help you rediscover your own creative spark
