Art Rec Podcast

Welcome to the Artist Recovery Podcast, where creatives come to share their unfiltered stories of triumph, struggle, and everything in between. I’m your host, Rich Wright, an artist, designer, and lifestyle coach who’s walked through the fire of mental health challenges and come out stronger. Each Friday, we dive deep with guests—musicians, writers, painters, and more—who lay bare the highs, lows, and pivots of their creative lives. Recovery isn’t just about addiction; it’s about rising from career slumps, personal losses, or whatever life throws at you. Expect raw, inspiring, and real conversations that feel like late-night talks with friends, packed with insights to fuel your own artistic journey. Let’s get real and start healing together.
