Rich Wright's powerful journey from darkness to hope will resonate with anyone who has struggled with mental health while pursuing artistic passions. After surviving a suicide attempt and twelve weeks of intensive treatment, Rich realized traditional psychiatry couldn't provide the answers he needed, sparking his quest for alternative healing that transformed his life.

Rich shares his career transitions—from fashion design for Bacardi International to jewelry making to his role as an "artist lifestyle coach"—emphasizing how creativity and spirituality became pillars of his recovery. He believes creativity isn't just an activity but a spiritual practice that channels source energy and makes the world more beautiful.

The conversation explores flow states, where creation happens effortlessly by quieting the analytical mind and letting heart-centered awareness guide the process. Rich's revolutionary perspective—"the heart is the true brain"—highlights the interplay between heart and mind.

Rich also shares a vulnerable story about a psychic medium channeling his late grandfather—a Southern Baptist minister—validating his spiritual journey beyond traditional frameworks. His eight years with an intuitive healer have brought more healing than decades of conventional therapy.

For creatives battling mental health challenges, Rich’s message is clear: "You are not alone." He understands the physical and mental drain of depression and how it can block creative flow. His parting wisdom—"be kind to your mind"—reminds us that even our toughest mental patterns began as protective mechanisms worthy of compassion.
