Creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s for everyone, including you. Today, I’m talking with Lindsey Holcomb, an artist and advocate who has used creativity as a way to process her autoimmune diagnosis. We’re getting into what creativity really is, how it shows up in everyday life, and why it’s worth making a habit. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not a creative person,” or if you’re just looking for a different way to approach challenges, this conversation will give you something to think about. Lindsey also shares how she turned her first MRI into a piece of art and how that practice has resonated with others navigating their own diagnoses.

Key Takeaways

• Creativity isn’t just about making art—it’s about curiosity, problem-solving, and finding new ways to do things.
• It’s a powerful tool for processing emotions, especially when facing something overwhelming.
• You don’t need fancy supplies—creativity can start with whatever’s around you.
• Research shows that creative expression improves mental health, self-acceptance, and overall well-being.
• It’s easy to assume you’re “not creative,” but if you look at how you adapt and navigate daily life, you probably already are…plus my own examples of this.
• Learning to feel your accomplishments is just as important as achieving them.
• Boundaries and rest aren’t optional, especially for introverts or those managing chronic illness.
• A good question to ask: How can I approach this differently?
• Your DO of the DAY

This podcast explores health and wellness through the lens of autoimmune disease—such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and others—diving into how challenges like fatigue, brain fog, flares, and other symptoms related to the nervous system, inflammation, and mitochondria can be supported by healthy habits in food, movement, sleep, and rest, while fostering consistency, effective self-care, and a resilient mindset.
