In this episode of the Blue Dragon Healing Podcast, we welcome Susan Hensley, author of 'Art for Your Sanity.'


Susan shares her journey from a corporate HR executive to a coach and art journal advocate.


She discusses how the chaos of a global pandemic and retirement led her to discover art journaling—a creative process that brought clarity and joy into her life.


Susan explains the importance of play, curiosity, and self-compassion in navigating life's transitions and how art journaling can help silence the inner critic.


She also shares insightful stories from her transformative experiences, including a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago.
