Episode Synopsis

When words fail, creativity steps in. In this episode of Optimistic Beacon, Dr. Ray explores how small, everyday acts of making — writing, music, cooking, gardening — calm anxiety, restore presence, and rebuild meaning. Backed by research in the American Journal of Public Health and anchored by Herman Melville’s poem “Art,” this conversation shows why creativity is the soul’s second wind. Plus, a simple 15-minute practice to start today. Make something, feel better, and remember: healing is re-creation.
