They delve into Astra's journey of healing through creativity, the profound connection between mental health and creative expression, and the challenges she faced as a young widow. Astra shares her experiences with human design, how she uses music as a tool for emotional processing, and her innovative 'musical mantra' sessions designed to transform limiting beliefs. The discussion also touches on redefining success, the importance of embracing authenticity, and the need to challenge the ‘starving artist’ mindset.
