25. How Dr Jackman creates a practice that supports her wellbeing

Hey friends, Martine Severin. Welcome back to This is How We Create.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it means to live in your art—that place where you produce work that pushes you, the place where you create work that thrills you and work that allows you to be the creative you want to be?

Today in the chair, we’re chatting with someone who proposes a different way of moving towards that goal. Our guest, Dr Charmain Jackman is a therapist and founder of InnoPsych, an organization on a mission to change the face of therapy and to promote wellness & healing for people of color.

Through this episode, Dr Jackman challenges us on how to we can begin to or continue to steward our mental health to improve our overall well-being and the way in which we create.

Enjoy!
