Creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s for anyone who wants to reclaim their life after emotional or spiritual abuse. In The Creative Act, Rick Rubin reminds us that creativity isn’t about talent; it’s about being open, trusting yourself, and engaging with life on your own terms. If you’ve spent years being told who you should be, creativity is the antidote to that shrinking. Let’s explore how creativity can help you heal, rediscover your true self, and step into freedom.
Here are some of the questions I answered in today’s episode:
– Should I tell my adult children and close friends about the hidden emotional abuse I’m experiencing?
– I feel guilty because we’re in the middle of the divorce process, but all of a sudden, my husband has started being nicer than he’s ever been!
– Why am I so afraid to tell my husband that I am done with the marriage?
– How do I avoid being triggered in a situation where my needs are being ignored or misunderstood?
– Is my husband abusive, or just selfish and immature?
– And MORE!
Abusers will project their own inner identity and issues onto their victims. Let’s talk about what that means, how it impacts a survivor, and what you can do about it.
Today’s podcast episode features a chapter from my new book, All the Scary Little Gods. It’s an analogy I wrote several years ago when I was trying my darndest to explain my situation to people who couldn’t wrap their brains around it.
In the years since that time, I’ve heard from countless Christian women how much it helped them understand what they were going through. Today you can listen to this story as it was recorded for the Audible version of All the Scary Little Gods. I hope it helps you find clarity and hope.
And maybe even a few laughs along the way.
In today’s episode, I answer more listener questions from women just like you who are trying to figure out what is happening inside of their painful and confusing marriage. If you want to leave a question for me to answer on the Flying Free Podcast, I would love to hear from you! Here are the questions being addressed today:
– Is my husband emotionally abusive or is it possible that he’s just emotionally weak and unavailable due to his own past and trauma that he hasn’t dealt with yet?
– Does my husband abuse me on purpose? Does he know what he’s doing?
– How do I know it’s time to leave my abusive husband?
– Has my abusive husband actually changed, or is he a fraud?
Get the first chapter of my book, Is It Me? Making Sense of Your Confusing Marriage, recommended by therapists. That chapter will help you figure out what’s going on in your marriage.
