The Art of Growing Together: Navigating Change and Creativity in Parenthood (feat. Danielle L. McDowell, LPC)

As we’re on our journey through creativity in parenting, how do we share our growth with our spouse? What do we do when a partner transforms and we need to create a new normal? How do we integrate creativity into our journey as a couple? On Talk Terracotta, I aim to merge the creative, the personal, and the mental health worlds. Our guest today is an expert in the latter, as a licensed professional counselor who specializes in creating strong couples, integrating creative expression, and healing future generations.

On this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to cope with the discomfort of change

  • Why to integrate creativity into healing as a couple

  • The first steps to set a foundation so it is safe to be vulnerable

  • The 80/20 rule for being the best version of yourself
