What if art could be more than creativity...what if it could be a lifeline for youth mental health?

In this episode, Lunden sits down with Rafael McMaster, creative director, artist, and youth mental health advocate, to explore how art and mindfulness are helping a new generation build emotional resilience. As the founder of Indivisible Arts, Rafael has developed programs that empower youth through creativity, mentorship, and tools for emotional well-being.

We talk about his upcoming book FundaMentaLife Tools (2025), his mission to raise a million conscious youth, and why creativity is one of the most powerful ways to heal from pain, overcome adversity, and step into growth.

If you’ve ever wondered how to help young people thrive in today’s world, or how creativity can fuel healing at any age, this conversation will light you up.
