This week, we’re closing out our summer creativity series with a conversation that will leave you inspired to pick up the pen, paintbrush, or microphone—or whatever creative outlet has been calling to you.

I’m joined by Deborah Weed, storyteller, producer, and creator of musicals and movements that ignite self-worth. After a life-altering misdiagnosis left her bedridden for years, Deborah found a new calling: helping others transform pain into creative expression. Through her award-winning children’s books, live performances, and her upcoming Paisley the Musical, she’s showing the world how storytelling can heal, empower, and set us free.

In this episode, we talk about:

❤️‍🩹 How Deborah turns adversity into creativity and meaning

❤️‍🩹 Why expressing your story can be deeply healing—for you and those who witness it

❤️‍🩹 The psychological and somatic shifts that happen when we give voice to our inner worlds

❤️‍🩹 How theater and storytelling help audiences process emotion, build empathy, and reclaim self-worth

❤️‍🩹 The cultural power of movements like Paisley the Musical to change how we see ourselves and one another

If you’ve been feeling stuck, doubting your creativity, or wondering if your story even matters—this conversation is here to remind you that it does.
