Sculpt N Create – Episode 14 w/ Rich Wright
In this real-talk episode, artist/designer/podcast host Rich Wright (The Artist Recovery) opens up about mental health, suicide survival, and the tools that helped him rebuild—therapy, alternative healing, community, and creating one day at a time.
We also break down artist lifestyle coaching: how to pivot your creative skill set (design, music, fashion, branding) into work that actually feeds your soul and pays the bills.
You’ll hear Rich’s stories from the Detroit music scene (Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker), why printable routines beat hustle anxiety, and how to “listen to your heart, be kind to your mind” when the industry gets loud.

Community matters: safe spaces to share, learn, and get unstuck.
⭐Signature reminder: Listen to your heart; be kind to your mind.
