Ep. 5: Healing Through Creativity with Special Guest Larissa Russell

Hi, Multi-passionate family (and loved ones close to them, if you’re listening)!

I’m excited to have interviewed Larissa Russell who is an expert on helping her clients heal through creativity. We discuss her own journey (can you imagine being 14 and on the street? I can’t!), her battles with depression, how she has healed, and how she is ultimately able to help others do the same. There are so many tools and rituals at our disposal if we just tap into them. And guess what? If you don’t think you’re creative, think again. We all are, even if you’re not a scientist, musician, visual artist, etc. We talk about that as well as how hiding you are (due to societal norms) can be detrimental over time.

About Carol Dickson-Carr

When people used to ask her what she does for a living for the past 14 years or so, she would simplify by saying, “I teach people stuff.”

Teaching is her passion!

Her undergraduate and graduate degrees are in economics, and she’s also received Coach training in various programs since 2004. Prior to moving to Dallas in 2007, she worked in the private sector calculating economic damages for an employment litigation firm for six years and was a legislative analyst for the House Finance and Tax Committee at the Florida Legislature for a little over five years.

She currently teaches economics and workplace writing at Southern Methodist University and her teaching doesn’t stop on campus—nor do the subjects! She has a passion for things that keep her sane, such as music and movement. They started out as hobbies but became moneymakers in private music lessons, play-shops, and fitness (Pilates and Dance). Her days are NEVER dull!

You know, it’s possible to have a successful portfolio career if you have the personality for it (making money using all of your passions). Some multi-passionate people want to keep the fun for hobbies and the "good enough job" to pay the bills separate from one another, which totally is cool too. Which one are you?
