Creativity Comeback for Mid Life Women with Asia Sharif-Clark BONUS Ep

Asia Sharif Clark messaged me that she's starting a new program just for mid-life women to bring back their creative spark, and I just couldn't wait to share all we got up to, talking about it, so this is a bonus! Asia was a guest over 3 years ago, talking about her burnout, and how she turned to planting herbs to give her that needed distraction. It seems that time frame may have been a bit of mid life chaos as well, and she just needed to find her peace...

Paint Together is her new community on Mighty Networks that is just opening up next week, July 27th - you can spend as long or as little time as you want - if you're super busy, try to carve out 15 minutes to 1/2 hour to get your creative juices flowing and make friends! Community is so healing, and helps us not feel so alone as we maneuver our way through - "community is a renewable resource," she says.

Paint Together will be focused on painting, but feel free to pull up some other creative venture you're working on. Asia will offer some playful prompts - she wants to make this easy and accessible, so we can get our creativity ON!

I just love any chance to spend time with Asia - she is so easy, and has the nicest smile. I hope you love this time as much as I did! See you at Paint Together some night!
