Ep 136 - Using Creativity to Process Emotions with Jen Colombo

More Than Anxiety

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you're always just barely holding it together?

This episode is for you.

Join me and watercolor artist Jen Colombo as we dive into emotional regulation for anxious women using simple, creative tools like art, music, and playful expression.

You don’t need to be artsy to benefit. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, or emotional overload, Jen shares how intuitive art can help you process emotions, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner peace.

We talk about:

• How creativity helps regulate emotions
• Simple art-based practices anyone can do (no talent required!)
• Why play speeds up emotional healing
• How music and movement deepen your self-awareness
• What to do when you feel stuck, anxious, or overthinking everything

Ready to feel better and have fun doing it? Grab some crayons and hit play.
