Hola Gwapas and welcome to episode 25 of the Hola Gwapa Podcast! For those of you who are new to the show I’m your host Nisha Btesh. I’m also the Founder and Creative at Hola Gwapa, a digital community of ten thousand artists from all over the world, a blog, a website, this podcast and most recently my very own small batch slow fashion line! On this podcast we dismantle the limiting stories and stereotypes holding creative entrepreneurs back and together redefine what it truly means to be a successful artist.

Welcome Dr. Courntey Crisp to The Hola Gwapa Podcast. Dr. Courntey is not only a therapist, writer, editor and speaker but she is also my former neighbor based in San Diego, California. Today's episode is so important because together we sit down and dive deep into topics like the importance of mental health and wellness in the creative community, eating disorders and her personal career trajectory and niching down to become the therapist she is today. SO if you’re a lover of the arts but find yourself interested in pursuing a more traditional career path or you’d just to like to learn more about the why behind mental health and eating disorders then THIS is the conversation for you. And with that let's get into the episode.
