What does it really mean to start over — to rebuild your life, heal from trauma, and find your creative spark again?

In this episode of Cozy with Calinnah, designer and entrepreneur Liz Garibaldi opens up about the night a car crashed into Open Gallery — her home and place of business — and how she and her family had to rebuild everything from scratch. Liz also shares her journey through therapy, the tension between choosing stability and creativity, and how being a former nurse shaped the way she processes trauma.

We talk about:

• Rebuilding life after unexpected tragedy
• Balancing stability and artistry
• Healing through therapy and creative expression
• Unlearning desensitization from nursing to reconnect with emotion
• Redefining what it means to be an artist as we get older

This conversation is a reminder that even when life falls apart, you can always start over again — and find new meaning in the process.
