How do we creatively increase empathy? What about increasing compassion for ourselves? Last year I experienced chronic pain for 8 months, which made me think a lot about empathy for those in pain of any kind—physical, emotional, or mental. Are our societies built for those who suffer from chronic pain? Can we increase empathy through art? Reading the book Your Brain on Artand talking with its co-author Susan Magsamen has really inspired me in the ways that so many people are already doing this.
Do we begin with more compassion for ourselves? How do we set intentions around practicing that self-compassion. I thank a guest from Season 2, Ceci Najar, who wrote a memoir called Unf*ckupable: A Love Story for inspiring me with the list she made when she decided to change her life. Sitting down and writing 100 things to see, do, or have helped her to believe that she deserved to have things that had always felt out of reach before.
How do you set intentions? Do you, like me, feel resistance to the idea that you deserve the things on your list? I’d love for you to share! Reach me at arthealsallwoundspodcast.com.

Susan Magsamen:Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us
June 28, 2023
•46m
Today, I’m joined by Susan Magsamen, Founder and Executive Director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Applied Neuroscience. She’s also the co-author of Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us, which explores how aesthetic experiences impact the human brain and body. In our conversation, Susan shares where her fascination for the intersection of art, science, and education stems from. She describes the research and writing process for Your Brain on Art, and goes into detail about some of the standout sections of the book, including the role art can play in community building and physical healing.
So much of Susan’s work is centered around the extraordinary ways art measurably changes the brain, body, and behavior. By breaking down the silos between scientists and artists, this knowledge can be translated into specific practices that advance individual and communal wellbeing. Your Brain on Art is an approachable starting point for understanding how humans are wired for the arts and ways we continue to evolve through creative expression. Susan is also the Co-Director of the NeuroArts Blueprint. We dive into the five-year global initiative she and her team are building in the field of neural arts. Their goal is to ensure art becomes a part of mainstream medicine and public health conversation.

Time to share some amazing conversations!
I love sharing feed drops of my favorite shows during this break between seasons! These are all conversations that moved me and taught me a thing or two.
Today I’m sharing an episode from the brilliant podcast Wild Precious Life, hosted by Annmarie Kelly. Her guest on this episode is Ashley C. Ford. Ashley C. Ford is the author of The New York Times Bestselling memoir, SOMEBODY’S DAUGHTER. In this episode, Annmarie and Ashley talk about surviving family trauma, setting healthy boundaries, and how to trust the people in our lives to do their own mental health work. On the lighter side, Ashley and Annmarie also discuss yacht rock, Midwestern pride, and their favorite character on The Golden Girls.
