Connecting creativity with personal healing. Samantha Mackay felt the pressure of conforming to traditional art forms in school, and much later in life found her voice in abstract painting. In this episode Samantha and I discuss how the pressures of societal expectations can stifle artistic expression, as she shares her journey from a legal career to rediscovering her creative passions. Samantha opens up about the struggles she faced while living in London, grappling with depression and autoimmune issues, and how, years later, creativity became a vital outlet for processing her pain, prompted by an insightful coaching experience that encouraged her to draw without judgment. We also explore the Enneagram as a tool for understanding our motivations and barriers to creativity, revealing how it can guide us towards a more authentic self-expression. Along the way, we explore the profound connection between creativity and healing, emphasizing the importance of embracing our unique paths. This episode is a reminder that creativity is not just about art; it's about how we express our true selves in everyday life.
