In this episode, we meet Skye Hilton, founder and owner of New Obsession, and Troy Whittington, Creative Recovery Facilitator. Pioneers in using creativity as a pathway to recovery from substance use disorder, both are artists in recovery who discovered that creativity could serve as both a map and a compass for navigating the uncharted territories of sobriety.
Self-expression is self-care.
