Ep 10: Creativity as a Path to Healing & Connection with Jillian Gable
In this episode of The ARC*Hive Podcast, we’re joined by Jillian Gable, artist, creative guide, and founder of The Creative Haven—an art and wellness studio in Cochrane, Alberta.
Jillian shares her inspiring journey of using creativity as a healing tool, and how she now helps others reconnect with their inner artist, regulate their nervous systems, and create meaningful community through expressive practice.
If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’m not creative,” this episode will lovingly challenge that belief and show you why creativity isn’t about talent—it’s about connection, curiosity, and self-discovery.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
🎨 How creativity supports mental wellness and nervous system regulation
🎨 Why creative expression is essential for self-awareness and personal growth
🎨 The story behind The Creative Haven and its impact on the Cochrane community
🎨 How to overcome perfectionism and embrace the power of showing up to create
🎨 Why curiosity, connection, and acceptance are the foundation of a fulfilling creative life
Jillian’s passion for empowering others to embrace their creativity—regardless of skill level—is a powerful reminder that healing and transformation can start with a paintbrush, a journal, or simply giving yourself permission to try.
