We have been serving others for so long we don't even know what brings us joy. My guest this week is Dr. Minette Riordan and she is a powerhouse creative queen. In her earlier life she was an academic and businesswoman, but she knew deep down she was an artist. Now she shares all kinds of artful classes to help us create a life that's juicy with exploration and aliveness. And she's knowledgeable about the science that demonstrates making things enhances our aging. Find out more about her and her offerings at MinetteRiordan.com.
