Episode 20: Can't say it? Draw it! How Metaphors Make Emotions Visible
What do you do when words just aren’t enough?
When feelings are swirling and thoughts feel tangled?
In this second episode of our Visual Thinking for Wellbeing mini series, I explore how visual metaphors can help you make sense of complex emotions, stress and confusion.
We’ll unpack why drawing what you feel can offer clarity, comfort and even humour in challenging moments.
With real-life examples, a guided reflection and creative prompts this episode will help you turn overwhelm into something visual, memorable and manageable.
Whether you're leading a team, supporting students, or navigating your own messy mind, this episode invites you to rethink how drawing might just be your best thinking tool.
🧠 Visual thinking isn’t just for creatives—it’s for clarity, connection, and emotional wellbeing.
🎧 Listen now and grab your pen: Can’t see it? Draw it.

We all need a rethink once in a while, so why not start today?
