A BROKEN UPBRINGING LEADS TO ART THERAPY, INTEGRATING AND HEALING INDIGEOUS PEOPLES. In Episode 73 of the Shining Brightly Podcast Show (links in the comments), titled “HEAL THE PEOPLE & HEAL THE PLANET”, I am joined by the incredible CAREY MACCARTHY, MA, ATR, LPCC. On her own at age 15 and a single mom by 22, she was able to use education as her escape to create a better life. Her passion grew as she worked in indigenous reservations with the Lakota/Dakota tribes to help support and rebuild the First Nations Peoples. She and I too believe that HEALING should be accessible to all people of all ages. Come download, listen, share and review this amazing episode!
