My guest this week is the lovely Ance Gricmane, who is a Lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences, professional artist and therapeutic art coach working with individuals and businesses. Watch this episode on Youtube https://youtu.be/Te3d00MMiUE
Come and dive deep with us in this episode as we unravel the complex tapestry of Ance's life. Her foundational belief is crystal clear: "If you understand the problem, you can overcome it." But the origins of this belief stem from a place many can resonate with - the weighty expectations of a parent.

Ance candidly shares the myriad methods she's woven into her life's fabric to maintain balance - from therapy and sports to the soothing embrace of nature. But, central to her healing journey is the arts. It serves as her sanctuary, a space where she processes complex emotions, and where perfectionism transforms into raw, genuine expression.

Whether you’ve felt the weight of external expectations or are seeking a therapeutic outlet, Ance’s story offers both solace and inspiration. Tune in to explore perfectionism's double-edged sword, the cathartic essence of art, and the resilience of the human spirit. Here are Ance's details:
