Mira is an incredible woman that I am so privileged to call one of my closest friends. Mira and I were only roommates for a very brief time, but she is one of those people that leaves such a meaningful and lasting impression on your life. As a child, while undergoing what was supposed to be a routine surgery, an unforeseen medical mishap occurred that would ultimately alter the course of Mira’s life. Despite the resulting physical and emotional trauma, Mira was able to tap into art as a healing tool that helped her re-frame her experience in a way that has lead her down a path that would allow her to help countless people though her current career as an art therapist.
More than that though, Mira is resilient, strong and, to be honest, a little bit of a wild child. You know that friend in a friend group who is a little mischievous and is always sort of breaking the rules, but somehow things turn out even better than you originally planned? THAT’S Mira. In this episode, we talk about finding ways to communicate parts of ourselves, using art as a tool for healing, and why sometimes, you just have to use wood burning tools to get your aggressions.
