Do you feel disconnected from your creative side? In this episode, I talk with Jill McDougall about embracing the messiness of play and:

• Pulling the threads of curiosity and learning to trust your intuitive gifts
• The impact of growing up feeling sensory-sensitive and wanting harmonious environments
• Finding confidence and breaking free of limiting beliefs as an adult

Jill is a mixed media/collage artist living in Washington state. Fascinated by what lies beneath the surface, she notices the details and nuance of things and builds fragments of her observations into the layers of her art. She believes that the world needs authenticity, creativity and connection now more than ever, and is learning to lean into her sensitivities and reframe them as superpowers.
