Speech Therapy Meets Creative Art Expression: A Journey Of Transformation w/ Bev Jessup EP 169

What happens when a successful 30-year career suddenly feels empty? Bev Jessop's transformative journey from speech therapist to creative mentor reveals powerful insights about finding your authentic voice—even when words fail.

Everything shifted when personal crisis struck. A loved one's multiple suicide attempts thrust Bev into the role of primary caregiver while juggling family responsibilities. Feeling spiritually dry and disconnected, she discovered something unexpected—creativity became her lifeline and a bridge of communication when traditional methods failed. By simply laying art supplies on the kitchen table, she created a pressure-free space where healing conversations could unfold naturally.

This revelation led to founding the Creative Sanctuary, a faith-friendly membership helping women reconnect with themselves and God through art journaling. Bev challenges our understanding of what it means to be creative: "You're made in the image of God, the Creator—therefore, you are creative." Her approach strips away perfectionism, emphasizing presence over performance.
