from Your Creative Chord Podcast · host Jenny Leigh Hodgins, Your Creative Chord

In episode 89, part 1 of my Grief, Loss & Creativity series, I share my personal journey through grief and loss, and how you can use creativity—through poetry, music, and reflection—as a way to process emotions, reduce isolation, and find deeper meaning. I invite you to sit with your own feelings and explore creative expression as a gentle, healing path toward connection, resilience, and inner strength.📚This episode also marks the two-year anniversary of both of my books, created from years of teaching, composing, writing, and lived creative practice.• Kaleidoscope of the Heart: A Collection of Poetry and LyricsA reflective collection of poetry and lyrics exploring emotion, resilience, and creative expression.• Start Piano: What You Need for Successful LearningA grounded guide for new and returning piano learners seeking clarity, structure, and confidence at the keyboard.Explore both books: https://YourCreativeChord.com/books• Explore your own creative process with simple tools from my free Creative Empowerment Sampler: YourCreativeChord.com/getinspiredhereOn the Wings of Faith ©️2019 JL HodginsGot thoughts or feedback?
