A few years ago, I was a vibrant, creative woman living a full life—until a sudden illness led to sepsis and the loss of both my hands and feet. In the depths of recovery, I picked up a paintbrush. It wasn’t perfect, but it was real and it brought me back to myself. That moment sparked a powerful return to joy, purpose, and identity.

I created this free guide because you don’t have to experience trauma to feel lost. So many women live in “the Grey Zone,” stuck in routine and disconnected from who they are. This isn’t about making perfect art. It’s about choosing yourself, reconnecting through creativity, and finding your way back to a life that feels like your own.
