EPISODE 25: How to Master the Gift of Giving, with Sarah Bolton

When was the last time you allowed yourself to freely express your thoughts and feelings in a creative way? Odds are, many of us don’t normally process our emotions through coloring with crayons and markers. But what if stepping into our creativity we allowed ourselves to find healing and freedom?

This week, we are talking with Sarah Bolton, Founder & Artist of Sarah Lenee Creative & Consulting LLC. 

Sarah is a mom to a teenaged son, an artist, and an event planner who is passionate and outspoken about Addiction Recovery. Working in the recovery field since 2016, Sarah currently serves as a Mindful Art Facilitator in residential treatment centers. She is also the Founder of Sober Eve, Houston’s only alcohol-free, pop up nightclub for New Year’s Eve and an active member of the local recovery community.

In this episode, we discuss how Sarah was able to find freedom in her addiction by holding onto her faith as well as how she helps people in a unique way. We explore how to heal past childhood wounds by tapping into our curiosity and creativity. Sarah also gifts us the opportunity to engage in a coloring session to learn more about our inner thoughts and feelings. 

Topics Discussed

Tapping into Curiosity and Creativity to find Healing Benefits of Coloring Therapy and what it shows us about Childhood Misconceptions behind Alcohol Addiction and other addictions Finding Addiction Recovery through Faith and Spirituality The Gift of Giving (and how receiving sparks joy in others)

About Positive Recovery Centers

Positive Recovery Centers is a strengths-based addiction treatment program with locations across Texas. We offer a full continuum of care, from medical detox to sober living all supported by an ever-growing alumni community network. 

Our evidence-based curriculum blends the best of the old with the new, all supporting our mission: that Recovery is best pursued when meaningful, intentional positive habits are formed through empowerment and resilience instead of negativity and shame.  

What is Positive Recovery?

Empathy and compassion drive our mission. Positive Recovery uses strengths as a pathway to help others flourish in recovery, at work, and at home. This is our core purpose, our “why.” We creatively apply science in order to improve outcomes. Positive Recovery is not wishful thinking, it is not a magic pill, and it is not self-help. 

Positive Recovery is an evidence-based addiction curriculum that links the best of the old with the new, integrating existing effective approaches to treatment with interventions that enhance well-being by cultivating its components: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement.
