What if the most honest thing you could do today involved scissors, glue, and a pile of old magazines?
In this episode of The Self-Investment Project, Kathy sits down with artist, teacher, and self-described "walking show and tell" Molly Meng, whose collage workshops have a way of cracking people open, gently, joyfully, and sometimes unexpectedly.
Molly's work is rooted in a simple but profound truth: we are all layered beings. And when we sit down with scissors and images that call to us, something quiet inside us begins to speak.
In this conversation, you'll explore:
- Why collage is one of the most accessible forms of somatic self-expression
- How layering in art mirrors the layers we carry as human beings
- The healing power of making something with your hands without a plan or a grade
- What it means to work so slowly you can hear yourself living (yes, Elizabeth Gilbert makes an appearance)
- Molly's Traveling Postal Club, where strangers make collage postcards and mail them to people they love
- How procrastination might actually be a process, not a flaw
