    🎨 Discover the powerful connection between art, trauma, and healing in this riveting episode of the Artist Recovery Podcast! Join host Rich Wright as he sits down with Joanna Lloyd, an artist, birthing specialist, and founder of Mumabuba and Echoes of Birth, to explore how early life experiences, including prenatal and birth imprints, shape our mental health and creative lives. This interview is a must-watch for artists, parents, and anyone interested in mental health, trauma recovery, and the science of somatic healing.⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics like birth trauma, suicide, and childhood abuse. If you feel triggered, Joanna suggests pausing, stepping into nature, or engaging in a creative activity (Timestamp: [01:40:00]). Take care of yourself and return when ready.🔥 Why You Can’t Miss This Episode:Joanna’s story is a profound blend of creativity and resilience. From her challenging childhood in England to her career shifts across retail, human resources for the police force, and finally to holistic pregnancy care, Joanna reveals how her artistic roots and personal struggles led her to uncover the science of pre- and perinatal psychology. Her insights into how birth trauma and early experiences influence lifelong behaviors—like anxiety, depression, and even suicide risk—are both eye-opening and deeply moving.🌟 Viral Moments to Watch For:⏩️ The Chilling Connection Between Birth Trauma and Suicide Risk (Timestamp: [01:37:55]): Joanna shares staggering research linking birth complications, like forceps delivery, to higher suicide rates later in life. One study found individuals who died by asphyxiation were four times more likely to have experienced oxygen deprivation at birth.

This is a game-changer for artists looking to merge their craft with healing.⏩️ The Mask Panic Revelation (Timestamp: [01:03:13]): Joanna’s candid recounting of her inability to wear a mask during COVID due to childhood imprints is a powerful testament to how deeply our nervous system holds onto early trauma.💡 Key Takeaways:1️⃣ You’re Not Broken: Joanna emphasizes that no one is inherently flawed—our behaviors stem from early experiences, and understanding them is the first step to healing.2️⃣ Intergenerational Imprints: Learn how trauma can be passed down through generations, even from your grandmother’s pregnancy, and how to break these cycles.3️⃣ Art Meets Science: Discover how creativity, like Joanna’s birth art therapy, can unlock subconscious healing, making this episode a goldmine for creatives.4️⃣ Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): Joanna dives into the ACEs study, revealing how childhood trauma increases risks for issues like depression (4.5x) and suicide attempts (12.5x) when four or more ACEs are present.🔗 Connect with Joanna Lloyd:Echoes of Birth and how it’s changing lives: https://www.echosofbirth.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joannalloyd/✴️ Connect with Rich: https://www.theartistrecovery.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richwrightunltdInsta: @richwrightunltd @theartrec
