Today we are talking with Makaila Borgerson about both her brilliant career creating art and her experience with her own mental health diagnosis. She bravely shares that, though this is a part of her, it does not define her. She shares what this journey has been like for her & how she has learned more about herself from creating her art.
We also talk about a ton of different concepts in this episode.
Namely:
-Taking care of yourself & being kind to yourself, even (& especially) when you don't have it all together!
-When it's hard to talk about & share your art
-Digging deeper into life & paying attention to who your real friends are
-Being scared
-Not liking your current or past work, but knowing you can't get to your next & better work without creating it first
-Processing life & emotions and the "tortured artist" scenario
-Sharing your heart through your work is so vulnerable!
-Comparing yourself & creating from your true self // doing what's truest for you.
-Makaila's amazing life's work of creating maps of places from her life
-What happens when you take the foot off of a sewing machine
-You don't always have to sell your art.
-Taking a break & then starting to create again.
-Working with only what you already have.
-Not stopping when things get uncomfortable: When we get stick, we're probably resisting something.
