7: Wendy Piersall: Changing the World with Art

In this episode,  Wendy Piersall talks about her artistic journey including recent publication of mandala coloring books.  This interview touches on starting a business, practicing meditation, and following your heart.

 “There’s been so many times in my life when I’ve had to trust my heart to lead me to the right path… On the outside, that’s the stupidest thing I could’ve possibly done… It was leaving all sense of stability behind to pursue something that looks irresponsible… The only certainty I had was to follow my heart, and it was absolutely everything that I needed.”– Wendy Piersall
