Soulbound Studios Podcast

Your Judgment-Free Zone for Exploring Passions, Finding Inspiration, and Navigating Life’s Challenges. Welcome to SoulBound Studios, the podcast that cuts through the nonsense and dives straight into the heart of self-discovery and healing through creative outlets. I’m your host, Mandi, and I’m here to bring you real talk, real fun, and the insights you need to figure out who the hell you are. In 2017, I found myself in the darkest depths of postpartum depression, but I also found a lifeline in the form of creative mediums like coloring, journaling, and music. It was a combination of art and therapy that pulled me out of that darkness. In that process, I discovered my purpose, passion, and talents I never knew existed. Today, I’m a single mother navigating life after divorce, and SoulBound Studios is where I share that journey with you. Soulbound Studios podcast is all about personal development mixed with creative healing. We explore the life struggles many women in their late 20s to mid-40s face. Plus, we delve into the transformative power of creative hobbies, helping you discover what makes your heart truly happy. So, roll up your sleeves, embrace authenticity, and join me on a journey of profound personal transformation. This is SoulBound Studios, where we get to the raw, real, and remarkable work together.
