Find the truth inside of you.
Lucia Capacchione
In this episode I talk with a strong single mother of 2, a powerful speaker and author of 23 books now translated in 20 languages. Lucia Capacchione PhD is not afraid to speak her truth and she gets really honest about motherhood, raising kids in today’s society and her essential parenting tips, #nofilters. Lucia brings a lot of profound wisdom and years of experience on how to draw our stress away and reconnect with our inner child, the truest part in us all, the playful, the spiritual and the creative child that you might have forgotten when you grew up and you know… started living in the ‘real world’ of adults. And… we all know that can become really stressful and too rigid sometimes…
We talk about real life, the messy and the beautiful!
She shares her journey from starting as an artist, becoming a Montessori child development specialist and then registered arts therapist after healing herself from a life threatening illness using the power of her other hand and journaling daily. Her innovative method spark and nurture creativity in all areas of life. Her method is now being used around the world in school systems, therapy, business, for cancer support groups, veterans, spiritual retreats, medical centers, prisons, drug & alcohol treatment centers and mental health programs.
Known as a pioneer in expressive arts therapies which she discovered over 35 years ago, her previous clients include Walt Disney World and Walt Disnet World Imagineering.
Nobody has the right to question your feelings.
