You Are A Work of Art
You can love your life and still feel a little lost inside of it.
You Are a Work of Art is a podcast about life, creativity, and making space for what matters.
Hosted by Monique Burton, each episode explores what it looks like to reconnect with yourself in the middle of a full life—not by blowing everything up, but by paying attention again. To what you need. What you enjoy. What you’ve been carrying. And what might be ready to bloom.
Expect honest conversations about creativity, identity, motherhood, relationships, personal growth, and the little moments that help us feel more like ourselves again.
You don’t have to be an artist to be creative.
You don’t need hours of free time.
Sometimes, you just need a little room to hear yourself again.
And yes…there will be flowers. 🌻
You are already a work of art.
You Are A Work of Art
Strong Women Ask For Help
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You’re used to handling work, family, and whatever needs doing next. So why can asking for help feel like admitting you’re not enough?
In this episode of You Are a Work of Art, I share why deciding to go to therapy was difficult for me, and why I’m so glad I gave myself the chance to receive support. After my second son was born, I was quick to frustration and knew I wasn’t showing up the way I wanted to. Asking for help became an important part of finding a way forward.
We talk about the fear of being a burden, letting other people decide whether they can help, and making a specific request. There’s also room for the woman who doesn’t yet have an obvious person to call.
You’ll hear:
• How I had connected my worth with doing everything myself
• The therapist’s question that helped me notice my own needs
• Practical examples of asking for help at home or seeking another perspective
• Receiving support and expressing gratitude without turning it into another project
The creative reset, I Don’t Have to Hold It All, uses a river and stepping stones to explore what you need, where you could turn, and one request you could make. Bring paper and a pen or pencil; color is optional.
This is my personal experience. Creativity became part of caring for myself alongside therapy.
