How Joanne Molinaro Found Herself Through Food

I think that many of us are conditioned or taught to believe that creativity is not an asset and it is not valuable. And as a result of that, we tamp it down until we forget that it ever existed.

I mean, even just biologically, right? I think that's something that is taught to us that we're not creative.

My recovery. Well, I think it's going well. Uh, it's kind of hard to say until I get my next doc appointment and x-ray, which isn't until the end of the month.
