Child Shame to Adult Gain – Part 2 with Karen DeLoach

In this powerful episode, we welcome back Karen DeLoach to explore the transformative journey from "Child Shame to Adult Gain." More children than we realize carry the heavy weight of shame—whether from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse or the pain of feeling abandoned. But how do we heal these wounds and help the soul rediscover its true purpose, connection, and affection? An experienced art teacher, Karen shares her deep insights into how creativity and the arts can unlock profound healing.

Karen takes us on a journey into the neuroscience of art—how engaging in creative activities can physically rewire the brain, leading to emotional and psychological healing. She shares her inspiring work with children in Uganda, where she used art to help them process trauma and rediscover their joy. Through the power of creativity, children (and adults) can connect with their gifts and tap into a more profound sense of self-worth. As Karen says, “Art isn't just about making something beautiful; it’s about making yourself whole.”

Drawing from years of experience working with people from all walks of life, Karen discusses how creative expression can be a bridge to a stronger relationship with our Creator, banishing shame and replacing it with joy. This episode is a testament to the profound power of the arts to heal, transform, and bring people back to themselves. If you’ve ever felt disconnected or burdened by past trauma, Karen’s wisdom will inspire you to embrace your path and soul to healing and joy.
