Have you ever walked by a mural that made you stop, think, or even smile? Art has the power to move us, but few people realize the depth of work that goes into creating public art that speaks to our hearts and minds.

In our latest episode, I sat down with Seth Lubaton, a local Virginia Beach muralist who's not just painting walls but transforming them into tools for community connection and mental health advocacy. Seth's work with NAMI on the "You Are Not Alone" mural has brought comfort and conversation to countless people, proving that art can do so much more than beautify a space.

What I loved most about Seth's story is his resilience and the grit it took to get to where he is today. From quitting a secure job to facing physical setbacks, he's overcome personal and professional challenges to make a lasting impact on his community.

He shares his strategies for staying motivated, dealing with setbacks, and maintaining a positive mindset. He also opens up about the challenges of prioritizing self-care as he gets older and why it's so important to take care of your physical and mental health.

Tune in now to hear Seth's story and discover how you can bring more resilience and creativity into your life.
