I am thrilled to welcome author, artist, and creative mastermind James McCrae to The Brave Table. Today, we’re celebrating James’ latest book, “The Art of You,” and he’s here to spill the tea on why we need to reclaim creativity and play, and how artistic expression may just be the key to better mental health!
Join us as we unpack our own creative journeys and how the process became a reawakening. Learn all about James’ rise to fame through his relatable memes, listen in as we discuss the impact of social media on personal expression, and get real about overcoming perfectionism while allowing the freedom to make mistakes.
