'Arts for the Health of It' w. CONSTANZA ROEDER | Founder & CEO of "Hearts Need Art : Creative Support for Patients & Caregivers"

Today, I welcome the talented & creative Constanza Roeder to the show!

She is the founder & CEO of the ‘Hearts Need Art : Creative Support for Patients and Caregivers’ - a non-profit organization based out of San Antonio, Texas.

Her experience as an adolescent Leukemia survivor transformed into a calling to create a world where everyone can experience moments of joy, self-expression, and connection while facing life-altering health challenges. 

She now speaks, writes, and empowers others to "re-frame and reclaim" the healing power of their own creativity and is on a mission to “humanize healthcare” through the arts.

We had a fantastic conversation about how arts and music can help those in treatment and recovery, the physical and mental health benefits of art, why so many people stop pursing art at such an early age, and much more!

Constanza also co-hosts a podcast ('Arts for the Health of It') that carries the same theme of art and music therapy helping during treatment and recovery.
