Kisses, Courage + Creative Leaps: How Art Heals
Send us a textIn this deeply personal episode, Stacy shares the journey of how the creative process and the act of performing can be incredibly healing. What started as a simple story about “kisses” turned into a powerful reflection on love, self-discovery, and the unexpected ways art has shaped her life. From childhood memories of feeling disconnected in the realm of romance to the surprising healing she's found while performing on stage, this episode explores the vulnerability and courage that art offers when you least expect it.
