Karly shares her own experience of writing her memoir and getting a new perspective on herself.34:11 The benefit of slowing down the process of making art to allow the therapeutic benefit to occur.36:14 Rachel provides a beautiful perspective on allowing our bodies to be a container for our feelings.40:48 Karly asks Rachel what her chosen creative expression is at this stage of her life.42:25 An invitation from Rachel to get started with a squiggle drawing!
