BY VICTORIA SCOTT

I started creating art to relieve the stress of my high-pressure, high-visibility, always-on-call job. Creating art allowed me to use a different part of my brain, set down everything else and be present in the moment, and access capabilities and creativity I didn't know I had.
In 2020, my life changed, so I decided to change my life. I left my successful 20-year career and became a fully certified professional coach in order to give back and help others who were in high pressure jobs. I've changed my life to make more time for what matters - my family, my own business as a certified professional coach (www.victoriascottcoaching.com) and leaning into using art to relieve stress, access creativity, and bring joy into my life and yours.
