The Create & Thrive Podcast

I’m thankful to be able to share this story with you today – the story of how craft – specifically, jewellery-making and metalsmithing – helped SuzAnne Taylor to find new purpose in her life. SuzAnne was a combat medic in the US Army, and after a tour in the Middle East, returned home with a severe case of PTSD. I’ve known SuzAnne online for a few years now, but when I finally learnt the details of her story, I knew I wanted to bring her on the show to talk about her experience, and how finding a craft literally saved her life. This is an incredibly moving episode – SuzAnne is an open book and we dive deep into her experiences over the years since her tour of duty. I want to thank SuzAnne for sharing her experience with us – and sharing her journey towards healing.
