For a long time, I wanted someone to bring me flowers. Eventually, I realized I was asking for something more: to feel considered.

In the first episode of You Are a Work of Art, I share the story of the flowers I used to wait for, the ones I learned to buy for myself, and the Sunday flowers that became part of my life with Nick.

Along the way, we talk about asking for support, making things without needing them to be beautiful, and learning to recognize care that makes room for who you are.

You’ll hear about:

  • How therapy, friendship, and creativity helped me reconnect with myself.
  • The small choices that helped me notice what brought me joy.
  • Why caring for yourself can include asking other people for help.
