Mary Caroll Moore heroically overcame her battle with cancer and helps others untap their creative healing powers through writing, art and music. Mary is a bestselling and award-winning author, chef and former cooking school instructor, artist and a breast cancer survivor. You can reach Mary at her website https://www.marycarrollmoore.com/

Some of the highlights Mary shares:

• Research shows that writing, art and music aid in the healing process
• Expressing yourself creatively facilitates healing
• By saving others we also save ourselves
• To make writing more powerful in the healing process, write with deliberate intent. Describe the scenario that traumatized you, how you felt then, and how you feel now.
• Remember to reach out and ask for help and support when going through trauma
• Host a "hat party" for a friend who has been diagnosed with cancer, of plan one for yourself
• I don't want to just survive, but thrive!
• Cancer is an opportunity to evaluate your life and decide what else you'd like to do. It can be a doorway to new possibilities
• My job is to find the joy
• Our bodies heal when we're in a parasympathetic dominant state - the more we can relax and feel peace, the quicker our body can heal itself
• Finding joy in eating and growing food
• Creativity is more than just art, gardening is also a way to participate in the creation process
• Mary's mother was a World War II pilot - example of heroism
• Heroism can be personal as we transform ourselves
• What is a hero? Someone who doesn't put limits on themselves and serves others
• And more
