In this deeply moving episode of Painting Your Path, Clarissa sits down with watercolor artist, author, and mom Jaime Townzen, whose creative awakening came through unexpected grief.

After losing eight loved ones between 2014 and 2020, Jaime found herself overwhelmed with anxiety and heartbreak. But in July 2020, a watercolor class became the beginning of her healing journey. She now paints daily, has published her debut novel Absorbed, and continues to find purpose through creativity and presence.

Together, Jaime and Clarissa explore:
🎨 The role of daily art and journaling in grief recovery
📚 What it took to bring her novel to life during caregiving and transition
🧘‍♀️ How curiosity and creativity can soothe fear and anxiety
🌊 Balancing motherhood, caregiving, and staying true to your creative self

Jaime’s story is a living example of The Art of Becoming—the magic that happens when we stop waiting and start creating.

Listen now and be inspired to pick up the brush, the pen, or whatever tool calls to your soul.
