In this episode, your host Laura Tynan  speaks with the incredible, soul inspiring artist Joanna Gilbert to discuss how to reconnect with your life purpose, develop the mindset to soar even when it feels you've hit rock bottom, and what to do to become the best version of you. 

Joanna Gilbert is a London based contemporary abstract artist. Her mission is to ignite purpose and creativity and to connect with others through the message she shares and the art she creates.

Joanna's work is representative of inner strength, courage and freedom, and everything she paints is interwoven with a rich perspective of life and mental wellness thanks to a deep understanding she has gained from her involvement with iheart; a non-profit dedicated to helping young people uncover their innate mental health.
