024 - Caroline Harrison: Art vs. ADHD & Creating a Habitat for Big Feelings
<p class="p1">What happens when two people with loud brains, big feelings and years of surviving their own minds sit down and compare notes? Artist Caroline Harrison and host Christina Rowatt talk about the overlap between creativity, neurodivergence, depression, burnout and the exhausting effort of trying to function in a world that often feels too loud. From masking and emotional flooding through to the weird guilt of rest and the danger of tying your worth to productivity, the conversation moves through the messier corners of being human without trying to neatly resolve any of it. Together, they unpack the tension between art and mental illness, the invisible labour of "holding it together" and why creating something meaningful can sometimes feel like the only thing keeping the lights on.</p> <p class="p1"> </p>
