In the first episode of this series, I discussed the importance of solitude. This episode represents a key ingredient to getting the most out of time spent alone: creativity. And yet, as we pursue our creative passions–whether personally or professionally–it's important to avoid getting consumed by them and losing ourselves in the process. I share my personal journey of using storytelling to drive social change and how I found a home within myself through creativity. Despite doubts about the industry being saturated and lacking uniqueness, we all possess unique intricacies that can be expressed through art. Through self-regard and balancing our individuality with the well-being of others, we can use creativity to expand ourselves and our collective.
