In this deeply moving episode of Soul-led Creative Women, Sam sits down with artist, author, and theme park designer Maggie Parr to explore the powerful intersection of creativity and healing. With a background spanning mural painting, illustration, and immersive design, Maggie brings a unique perspective to how art can serve not just as expression—but as a sacred path to self-actualization.
Maggie bravely shares her personal journey with self-harm and how art became her lifeline—first as a hidden coping mechanism and eventually as a tool for conscious healing and empowerment. Together, Sam and Maggie unpack the often-misunderstood realities of self-injury, particularly among adult women, and shed light on how creativity can open the door to transformation, spiritual connection, and emotional integration.
Key Takeaways:
- Maggie's journey from self-harm to healing through art and how she now supports others on similar paths.
- A deeper understanding of self-harm beyond common stereotypes, including its emotional, psychological, and even ritualistic aspects.
- Why creativity—especially non-verbal expression—is a powerful language for processing pain and trauma.
- How Maggie views cutting as a creative act—and how she transformed that impulse into painting and storytelling.
- The importance of intention and spiritual connection in art-making for healing and wholeness.
- How different creative rituals have helped Maggie listen to her inner child, meet resistance, and allow authentic expression.
- Why we need to give ourselves permission to create—even imperfectly—and embrace art as a birthright, not a talent contest.
- How creativity can shift from a survival tool to one of joy, empowerment, and thriving.
Whether you've experienced emotional pain yourself or are passionate about the healing potential of art, this episode is a raw, insightful, and uplifting invitation to honour the voice within and let creativity lead the way home.
