Alexa Saxton Thomas - On Art, Motherhood, Breast Cancer Recovery & Self-Care

In this episode we’re joined by artist & mother Alexa Saxton Thomas to talk about balancing the creative work of making art with the creative work of parenting. Alexa shares her experiences on how these two feed each other and how much creativity is an important part of grounding in life - both for children and adults - and also how self expression feeds our self care.

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for some further reflections from Christine on our emotion processing as part of self-care.
