What do you do to reset, decompress, and clear your mind? When do you know it's time to hit that reset button? In my conversation with Dionne Victoria she reveals her personal practice that helps her deal with stress that comes from running a business.
Meet Dionne Victoria Milton, an educator and Chicago painter whose work is a meditative tool to heal and express her soul. She uses meditation as a central part of her art practice. She also runs her own arts studio, Dionne Victoria Studios Inc., where she focuses on change through the three E’s: Education, Exhibitions, and Entrepreneurship.
Dionne Victoria believes everything starts with a question. As her love of science grew she began developing a science-arts integration curriculum, and now calls herself the Art Scientist.
Join us as we discuss Dionne’s entrepreneurial journey, what she thinks about overwhelm, and how she uses art as therapy to heal from trauma using chakras.
In this episode Dionne Victoria shares:
What game she played as a kid (that you probably played too back in the day) to envision the life that she wanted for herself.
Learn about her program, the Therapeutic Art Box, that people can do to inspire them to make changes within themselves and promotes self care.
Why she sees art and science as interchangeable, and how she teaches scientific concepts to youth as a way to approach art.
The 3 very important things you must have to achieve balance, and how this helps her feel centered in her teaching practice, community programs, business, and her art practice.
Her advice to entrepreneurs on what you can do to deal with overwhelm in your business.
