Ksenia J. Merck shares how intellectual wellness and art can help us navigate love and existence.   In this week's episode of Women Connected in Wisdom podcast, we welcome our guest, Ksenia J. Merck — an architect, artist, and author who has spent four decades shaping the physical world through large-scale airport programs. Today, she is shaping the world of storytelling as the creative force behind Ghost Flower, a science fiction novel written by her late husband, William F. Merck II, which she illustrated and published posthumously.   We explore the Intellectual Wellness dimension, discussing how Ksenia used her creative skills to honor her husband's legacy while expanding her own whole-self growth. From her architectural background to her work on the Ghost Flower Companion Journal, Ksenia shares how deep reflection, thought-provoking quotes, and art can help us process the mysteries of life.   Women Connected in Wisdom is a community-driven podcast hosted by Christine and Shannon, where we explore the 8 Dimensions of Wellness to help you live a more balanced, purposeful life.   Connect with Ksenia J.
