BGS Shorts - Creative Expression

In this short and heartfelt reflection, Christina Cook—host of The Broke Girl Society—invites you to explore the healing power of creative expression. Inspired by the quote, “When words are too heavy, creativity becomes our voice,” this episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t need to find the perfect words to move through difficult emotions.

Christina shares how creativity can take many forms beyond traditional art—like rearranging a vase of flowers, creating a cozy corner, baking with intention, or curating a playlist that speaks when you can’t. These simple acts of self-expression aren’t about performance—they’re about presence. They’re how we remind ourselves: “I’m still here. I’m still healing.”

If you’re feeling weighed down today, this episode is your permission to create something honest, something soft, something that brings a little beauty into your day.

**If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals. We only speak from our own perspective and experience. This recording should not be used as a replacement for professional help but as encouragement in your recovery journey.
