What if the path to healing wasn’t found in doing more—but in doodling more?
In this episode, Stacey and Steph sit down with Kayla Huszar, a Registered Social Worker, Expressive Arts Therapist, and ADHD mom of two, to talk about the transformative power of creativity and expression—especially for mothers.
After facing postpartum anxiety and burnout, Kayla found her way back to herself through expressive arts therapy. Now, she helps other mothers reconnect with their creativity, not as a luxury, but as a lifeline.
We talk about:
- Why you should use the good markers
- How art journaling can help regulate emotions (yes, even if you're not “artistic”)
- The link between flow state and ADHD
- Why mothers must reclaim time for play and joy
- The narratives we carry about self-expression—and how to rewrite them
- What Kayla’s 10-year-old son said about adult stress that will blow your mind
Plus, Kayla shares a simple 5-minute practice to get started with art journaling today—and why doing something "frivolous" might be the most essential thing you do all week.
