from Heal and Grow with Creativity · host Renata McElvany
What does it look like to leave everything familiar behind and build a life that actually feels like yours?In this episode, I'm sitting down with my dear friend Joanna Oyarzabal Méndez — a multi-passionate healer, writer, and creative soul who left her 9-5, moved from California, USA to Oaxaca, Mexico, and began the deeply personal work of unlearning, reconnecting, and coming home to herself.We talk about following intuition when the path isn't clear, cooking as a love language, why creativity belongs to everyone, using art to process difficult emotions, body liberation, neurodivergence, and what it means to be multi-passionate in life and business.This is a conversation about trusting what you carry, honoring where you come from, and giving yourself permission to live differently.📝 Read the accompanying blog post for this episode. 🔗 Links mentioned in this episode: Joanna’s SubstackJoanna’s InstagramThe Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor (Book)Dra.
