"We are all borne from love." - Janna Wilson
We all know that creativity can be an essential processing tool in the toolbox for trauma survivors. But creation comes in all shapes and sizes!
In this episode, founder of The Love Mic and multi-passionate creative Janna Wilson talks about how she has used her need for an outlet and accountability to build the community of artists that have now formed and supported three iterations of The Love Mic.
Emmeline and Janna also talk about overcoming the discomfort of asking for money for your art, celebrating the accomplishments of other artists, why open mics are important for musicians, and how community can lift you up and carry you to your next creative level.
