⚠️Quick Note: A sincere “oops” from me — due to an editing mix-up, this original video included audio that isn’t mine. I’m so sorry for the oversight! It won’t happen again. Thanks for your understanding as I continue to learn and grow through this creative process.

G'day, good humans 👋

Welcome back to This Midlife Mosaic — where the chaos of creativity meets the calm (and sometimes not-so-calm) of midlife.

This month, I’m sharing a *mostly unscripted, deeply honest look into my art room and my mind — as I tackle:
🪵 a cupboard created with leftover marine ply from 1982
🎨 a cockatoo canvas I had to try, despite the fear
😰 post-30 public speaking anxiety that still sneaks up
🧠 and the healing rituals that help my neurodivergent brain breathe again

This isn’t a polished DIY or perfect painting tutorial. It’s real. It’s messy. It’s midlife in motion.
And sometimes… just showing up and finishing something is the biggest win. 🙌

Inside this video:
✨ Cupboard chaos → to creative calm
✨ Chalkboard paint fails & oil-based surprises
✨ A vulnerable talk on anxiety, voice, and fear of being seen
✨ First time using the grid method for painting (cockatoo lovers, you’re in for a treat!)
✨ How creativity becomes an anchor when life gets overwhelming
