In this introductory episode of the Coping Creatively Podcast, Lauren shares the meaning of this project in her own words, and how it developed her personal orientation to life.

In this podcast episode, Lauren talks about...

• Her experiences with grief and loss at a young age and how they contributed to her path as an artist as well as her perspective on life

• How she cultivated not only a professional art practice, but also an approach to mixed-media art as her tools for addressing grief as well as to manage daily mental health and wellbeing

• How her path to self-discovery has impacted her lifelong love for creativity for the better, leading to her passion for tie-dye, embroidery, and upcycling the old into the new

• And so much more!

So, join Lauren as she helps you begin your journey to meeting your authentic self through her honest, vulnerable conversations with members of her community in this podcast series.
