#31 "Type-A" Creative on Life + Grief | Joanne Garcia, Creative Director + Photographer + Youtuber

Today, we welcome a creative powerhouse and true soul sister: Joanne "Jo" Garcia. As a first-generation all-American girl raised by Filipino immigrants in the US, Jo is one of those rare breeds of creatives who's equal parts creative thinker and master executor. She's a creative who gets shit done. While meeting Jo was a blessing, the circumstances of our meeting were heartbreaking. My dear friend Elaine battled breast cancer for four years before it took her life this time last year. During this time, Jo stepped into the most demanding role of her life - being the caretaker of our dying friend. In this episode, we speak about Jo's creative journey, the love, loss, and redemption she has experienced, and how her creativity has been an essential part of her burnout recovery that she's used to reclaim her life in the wake of extreme loss.
