"Refreshingly honest, this book offers a firsthand grappling with one of the most insidious afflictions of our time." - Tom Harpur, author, "The Pagan Christ"
Michele Swiderski's mind was disintegrating.
Trapped in a cage of clinical depression and anxiety, Michele was forced to leave her job and embark on the grueling process of
rebuilding her life by retraining her brain, re-energizing her soul, and reconnecting with Higher Spirit. Over the course of a decade, she fought her way through mental illness by weaving together her passion for creativity with her belief in the creative power of Spirit. Through simple practices such as
journaling, meditation, and crafting, she rediscovered the power of the creative spirit to rebuild her life.
In
A Joyful Life: How to Use Your Creative Spirit to Manage Depression, Michele eagerly shares her hard-won wisdom to guide others who are mired in depression.
Reconnect with your best self and take your first steps to a place of health, hope, and happiness. "Motivational, uplifting, and inspirational." - Barry Silverstein, Foreword Reviews
