Creativity often blooms in unexpected soil. In this episode, Larry talks with a wide range of people who discovered (or rediscovered) their creative side after a Parkinson’s diagnosis. From painting to photography, improv to boxing, their stories prove that Parkinson’s doesn’t end your story — it gives you a new chapter. Hear how creativity can be both healing and empowering, and why you don’t need to be “artistic” to start playing again.
