Tina J. Rutherford: Embracing Creativity and Healing Through T.ruth & Muse
It's not that you go around every single day happy, happy, joy, joy. But acceptance is based on what is what can I you know? What ways can I honor those that are no longer here with me, and in my therapeutic work and just being a participant of this life, we can often get stuck in the bargaining: the could-haves, the would-haves, the should-haves.
Feeling overwhelmed by the daily grind? Tina J. Rutherford knows the feeling all too well. In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Tina, the force behind T.ruth & Muse Creative Consulting, to discuss how creativity can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing.

Her story is one of resilience and transformation, offering a beacon of hope for anyone feeling stuck in their current situation.

Tina's approach combines her therapeutic training with a keen eye for detail and innovative problem-solving skills, making her work uniquely impactful.
