163. Mindful Creativity (with Anh Lin)

Guest Bio: Anh Lin is an interior stylist and the founder of the cozy online shop, TheHoogaShop.com. She is a debut author with her new book, Forever Home, and she is now living with her husband and corgi in a renovated fixer-upper.

 

Show Summary: Have you ever looked at a space and felt excited by all of the work that needs to be done on it? Maybe you renovated your home, decorated an apartment, or even organized your car trunk in a cute way for all of the running around you do. What if we looked at our hearts as rooms with potential? What if we saw healing as internally renovating? Anh Lin was in the midst of renovating and designing a new home when the Lord opened her eyes to see how the process was similar to our internal healing process. Join hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they talk with Anh about seeing the possibilities for our healing during this God Hears Her conversation.
