In this episode of Softspaces Podcast, we’re holding space for healing in real talk about art therapy—what it is, how it works, and why it might be the missing piece in your journey to wholeness. 

I’m joined by the amazing Karen Penn, Art Therapy Practitioner, who shares her wisdom on using creativity to process trauma, release what’s heavy, and reconnect with the woman in the mirror wanting to be seen.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can art therapy really help me heal?” or “How do I start with art therapy?”—this conversation is for you. 

Get ready for real-life breakthroughs, simple art therapy exercises you can try at home, and how to make room for your own healing, no matter where you are on your journey.
