Lucy Bellwood: Battling the Inner Critic and Embracing Creativity

Every time we show our bellies to another person, there is, I think, an art to sharing the challenges that we're going through, and it's not that that's self-obsession.
Ever wondered how someone turns their inner battles into art? Meet Lucy Bellwood, a cartoonist best known for her work '100 Demon Dialogues'. In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Lucy sits down with host Paul Gilmartin to discuss the relentless critical voice in her head and how she faces the lies it tells her. She opens up about her complex relationship with her father, the author of 'The Highlander', and how it has shaped her journey.
Lucy's honesty about her struggles with self-doubt and her creative process offers a refreshing perspective on mental health. She highlights the importance of sharing our battles and the healing power of daily creative practices. The conversation also touches on the challenges of writing a book and how spirituality plays a role in her mental well-being. Throughout the episode, Lucy's vulnerability and authenticity shine through, making it a compelling listen for anyone grappling with their own inner critic.
