With Courage is a publication created to inspire, encourage and empower women, leaders and entrepreneurs through stories, reflections and practical insights.

In Issue 27, themed “Coming Home to Yourself,” the magazine explores the importance of pausing, reconnecting with ourselves and nurturing the inner strength that allows us to continue leading with clarity and courage.

The issue features Amanda Chen-Lee, art therapist and founder of Art for Good, in a personal reflection titled “The Art of Coming Home to Yourself.”

Drawing from her experience as an art therapist, Amanda explores how creativity can provide a meaningful space for rest, self-expression and emotional connection. She shares how creative activities such as painting, gardening and journaling can help us step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with what is within.

The feature also introduces the role of art therapy as a safe and supportive therapeutic process, where creativity can help people explore thoughts and emotions through colour, texture and imagery. Amanda highlights how art therapy can support different communities, including caregivers, children, persons with disabilities, seniors and people living with dementia.

For Amanda, coming home to yourself is not a one-time act, but a lifelong journey. Her own practices of meditation, quiet reflection, gentle yoga and journaling are reminders that caring for others also begins with making space to care for ourselves.

“Coming home to yourself is about finding rest, clarity and connection.”
