Episode Synopsis
🎙️ Creative Loss: Grieving the Dreams That Didn’t Make ItWhat happens when the project doesn’t land, the door doesn’t open, or the dream quietly slips through your fingers? In this episode of Suffering for Art, host Brianna Kaleen sits down with psychiatrist and educator Dr. DaJonitta Richmond to explore a part of the creative process we rarely talk about: grief.Not just grief for people—but for projects, paths, and versions of ourselves that never had a chance to fully unfold. Together, they dive into how disappointment affects the body, why so many artists push through instead of processing, and how hope is reshaped by the losses we carry.Dr. Richmond is the founder of WHOLENESS Mental Health, where she helps individuals, families, and communities find clarity, connection, and emotional well-being. With her background in both adult and child psychiatry, she offers powerful insights into what it means to honor our pain and still move forward with intention.✨ Connect with Dr. Richmond:Instagram: @doctor.dajTikTok: @dr.dajonitta.richmondWebsite: https://wholenessmentalhealth.com
