But, central to her healing journey is the arts. It serves as her sanctuary, a space where she processes complex emotions, and where perfectionism transforms into raw, genuine expression.Whether you’ve felt the weight of external expectations or are seeking a therapeutic outlet, Ance’s story offers both solace and inspiration. Tune in to explore perfectionism's double-edged sword, the cathartic essence of art, and the resilience of the human spirit.
