🌸 NEW EPISODE LIVE 🌸

Today on La Vie Creative, I sit down with my Montmartre neighbor and artist Jocelyn Ulevicus to talk about painting as healing, grief, and finding ourselves through creativity.

We dive into how art can help us:
✨ See ourselves more clearly
✨ Stay present in our bodies
✨ Gently process grief, trauma, and big life transitions

Jocelyn shares her non-linear path from public health and academia to becoming a full-time artist, how flowers became her companions through loss, and why she believes every painting is “a tiny birth and a tiny death.”

If you’ve ever felt:
• “It’s too late to start something new”
• Stuck in your head or trapped in perfectionism
• Called to create, but scared to begin…

…this episode will feel like a deep exhale. 🌿
