Addiction, Creativity, and the Journey Home with Patti Clark and Lisa Manzo

In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, award-winning author and speaker Patti Clark shares her powerful story of addiction, recovery, and rediscovery. Best known for her books This Way Up: Seven Tools for Unleashing Your Creative Self and Transforming Your Life and Recovery Road Trip: Finding Purpose and Connection on the Journey Home, Patti’s work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and Thrive Global.

A cross between Elizabeth Gilbert and Julia Cameron, Patti draws from her own experience with multi-generational addiction and trauma — losing her mother to alcoholism at 16 and descending into her own battle with addiction before ultimately rising from the ashes. Now over 11 years sober, Patti uses writing, creativity, and spiritual practice to guide others toward healing, purpose, and connection. Her story is a testament to the power of recovery, renewal, and finding your way home to yourself.
