Are you prepared to sacrifice your life for your job? Ranaa Farooq says that she’s not willing to, despite her fear of judgement the guilt she has felt about leaving the NHS and medicine in general.
Ranaa Farooq is an abstract painter and life coach living in Sheffield, who describes the process of painting itself as therapy. In this interview she talks about her artistic journey and realisation that there’s more than one way of helping people.
Some of the themes that we discuss include her dreams about being an artist while growing up, how she gets into a meditative space and lets herself be guided how she feels while painting, what it’s like having her own art studio, and the importance of taking a break. At the end she has a question for you that may prompt a new way of thinking about any changes you want to make in your own life.
