This Full Moon join Laura Edralin and I as we delve into the converging worlds of creativity, connection and mental health.
Laura is a calligraphy artist, happiness facilitator and qualified wellbeing coach, based in West London with her husband and two young children.
She started her business, Laura Letters Life, after the practice of calligraphy was an integral part of her recovery and reconnection after experiencing high levels of anxiety.
In our conversation we discuss the fear and perceived obstacles of leaving the safety of a predictable career to pursue a more creative life, a life that seems to be calling us. We explore Laura’s letting go of expectations around how that creative business would ‘look’ and instead listening to the whispers of what feels good and inspiring… for her that was to facilitate creative spaces where she was able to share this joy.
We touch on the creativity that is present in everyday lives; the creativity that it takes to build a life, and how having a creative practice can help to recognise that more deeply. We celebrate the juiciness of transition phases, even in their discomfort!
We talk about family history and family life in the context of being a creative, and of raising children in a way that aims to encourage their autonomy and for them to see parents and caregivers are infallible humans rather than perfect creatures.
And, almost inevitably, we come back time and time again to creativity as a guide and a metaphor for the experience of human life, and as a tool to find ourselves in amongst the hubbub.
