Ep. 984 – Art for Your Sanity with Susan Hensley

“One thing I love about playing with art, as part of working with people who are going through big life transitions, is it starts to create space and perspective. And that's where you really get growth and you start to say, what is going to be important ten months from now, and where should I put today's focus?” – Susan Hensley
