In today's glitter-drenched episode, we’re joined by Trish Schribert, the creative soul behind Soul Sparkle Love, for a heartfelt and delightfully inspiring conversation about living your sparkle from the inside out. Trish believes sparkle isn’t just something you wear, it’s something you are. From disco balls and rhinestone jackets to faith, creativity, and honoring the people who see your light before you do, this conversation explores how self-expression can become both a personal practice and a form of connection. Along the way, we dive into grief, creativity as care, childlike wonder, edible glitter, bedazzled books, and why glitter and confetti might actually be wise life teachers.

♥ Ways to express both your inner and outer sparkle.

In this episode of Greetings From Confetti Land, we’re joined by Allie Joy, a board-certified art therapist and licensed professional counselor who believes creativity isn’t a luxury, a side quest, or something we outgrow...it’s essential. Together, we explore what happens when art, therapy, and whimsy collide: why play can be profoundly healing, how making a mess on purpose can help us feel more human, and why adults desperately need color, curiosity, and creative permission in their lives. From texture hunting in the wild to junk journaling with literal trash, disco tiles that never leave your house, and the quiet rebellion of choosing rainbow silverware, this conversation is a love letter to process over perfection. We talk about why creativity doesn’t have to look like “art,” how whimsy can be survival, and what it means to embrace joy, mess, and meaning all at once. If you’ve ever felt like play was something you were supposed to grow out of, this episode is your official permission slip to pick it back up and douse it in glitter (optional, but obviously encouraged). We talk about:

♥ Art therapy, demystified (spoiler: it’s not just for kids).

♥ Whimsy as rebellion, survival, and a secret superpower

♥ Why the magic lives in the making, not the finished thing.

♥ Texture hunting, junk journaling, and embracing glorious creative chaos.

About Allie: Allie Joy is a Board-Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor based in Connecticut. She believes that every person has the ability to tap into their creative potential and that it’s not about artistic ability, it’s about bringing curiosity, innovation, authenticity, and a little whimsy into our daily lives. Through her platform, Creatively Clinical, she shares colorful experiments, inspiration, and reflections on how imagination and playfulness can help us reconnect with joy, curiosity, and ourselves.

In today's episode we sit down with writer and creative director Lyndsay Rush to talk about the beauty of embracing chaos, from confetti-level messes to the emotional “big whoop” moments (that toddlers apparently understand better than adults). We dig into the permission slip her book A Bit Much gives all of us who feel things loudly, exploring how humor becomes both a coping mechanism and a creative compass (especially when you’re standing in pink platform Crocs holding a bag of Doritos for emotional support). Together, we navigate the tightrope between sharing your life online and keeping the sacred stuff actually sacred, the joy and terror of making art in public, why authenticity is its own superpower, and how to stay creatively alive in an AI world. Joy, messiness, big feelings, lippies, chippies, sprinkles, and sincerity...we cover a lot. And honestly? It’s a bit much in the most wonderful way. We talk about:

♥ Navigating the online world as a creative.

♥ The freedom that comes with being misunderstood.

♥ Rewriting the narrative of being 'Too Much.'

♥ Rituals for joy and the future of creativity.
