Growing up, I didn’t have a safe space where my feelings could just exist. I learned to hide, to silence and to shrink. But the moment I picked up a pencil, I was just me. I was allowed to do everything and become whoever I wanted to be on that single piece of paper.

Being a kid, not understanding how to place emotional pain and mental torture, I would draw myself in casts to translate the pain I knew I felt but couldn’t place. I would later in life draw myself in situations that a normal teenager would find themselves in as a form of escapism, like being in love, having friends, attending sleepovers and going to parties, but I would also draw myself being extremely sad or angry, even though in real life I was unable to express those feelings. As an adult, I would draw my feelings and worries more profoundly but I’d also draw myself being on a holiday, or as an artist. Even later, my comics started going viral but even though I was still on my healing journey, I felt like there were a few hundred thousand people healing alongside me, too.

As adults, we still carry those inner wounds. Healing isn’t just about looking back, it’s about finding tools we can lean on now, in the present. That’s why I created this workshop: so you can build your own safe, steady mental health buddy that serves a companion who grows with you and supports you every step of your healing journey as an adult.

I’d like to share my knowledge and guide you towards creating your own mental health companion through art so you can transfer your own pain, worries and traumas. It has helped me tremendously throughout my healing journey and truly upleveled my self-love and self-worth, and I can’t wait for it to do the same for you too!

Who is this Draw your Self-Love workshop for?

This workshop is for you if…

💜 You grew up with (childhood) trauma and still feel the effects today.

💜 You want a gentle, creative tool to support your healing as an adult.

💜 You sometimes struggle to put your feelings into words, but long for a way to express them.

💜 You’re excited to create your own mental health buddy who can translate your pain, struggles and train of thought, but also your dreams, wishes and aspirations.

💜 You want both the comfort of creativity and the care and love of 1:1 support.

I’ve been creating webcomics under the name of Planet Prudence full-time since 2017. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, and it all started out as a way to express my true self, translate my pain, identify my worries and thoughts, but also eternalize my dreams and aspirations. When I was little and went through my own childhood traumas, I would draw myself with casts and band-aids as a way to embody the pain that I felt but couldn’t place as a child. Later in life, I would draw myself in an ideal world as a way of escapism and draw myself in situations where I would feel less alone. I drew Pru (that’s what I call my purple-haired alter ego) in a way where she was fearless, unapologetically herself in her most authentic way and as a result she pulled me through so many painful periods, but also helped me heal when I was going through my own trauma healing journey.

I can’t even begin to describe how big of a role she played in my healing process. So much of her fearlessness and level of authenticity has now become a huge part of who I am.

I grew a lot through my art and even though statistics share that people who went through childhood trauma have a higher chance to end up being unemployed, repeating the pattern by finding themselves in unhealthy relationships, numbing themselves through substance abuse, I found that by healing (and a lot quicker healing through my art), and guiding myself towards the light, keep pushing myself for that next best step, I eventually beat the odds and the statistics and became a self-employed illustrator, comic artist and women’s advocate who worked with brands like BBC, Adobe, Microsoft and I was featured in publications like Huffpost, Women’s Health and Forbes!

Pru became like my own Lizzie McGuire and I would often ask myself “but, what would Pru do?”

I later discovered that huge names like Béyonce (Sasha Fierce), Christina Aguilera (Xtina), Eminem (Slim Shady) and Kobe Bryant (Black Mamba) have created an alter ego that allowed them to become another, more fierce, or more confident, unbeatable version of themselves.

Almost every public speaker (like Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, Lewis Howes,..) anchors themselves in a way to tap into a version of themselves that has this endless amount of energy and becomes this fearless speaker with a high authority.

It’s totally okay if this might not really make sense now, but I promise you that it will. I will just need you to trust me on this one! We can make it happen for you too and I’ll help you create your own alter ego so you can locate your pain, express your needs, help you heal, but also make yourself more confident and translate your dreams through drawing so you can make it your reality, too! I can’t wait to see that happen!
