Episode 1: Welcome to The Mindful Drawing Podcast

Welcome to the very first episode of The Mindful Drawing Podcast. I'm Becky - a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) based in Hertfordshire, UK, and the founder of Ivy's Corner. This podcast is for anyone who wants to slow down, pick up a pen, and find a little calm through drawing. Whether you've never considered yourself creative, you're curious about mindfulness but find traditional meditation tricky, or you're already a Zentangle fan - you're in exactly the right place. In this intro episode, I share a bit about who I am, why I made this podcast, and what makes it a little different. These are audio-only, voice-guided drawing sessions - there's no screen to follow, no copying, and no getting it "right". Just your pen, your paper, and a few quiet minutes for yourself. I also cover what you'll need to get started and how to set up a space that feels good. If you're new here, this is the best place to start - it'll give you a feel for how the sessions work and what to expect from the episodes ahead. All you need is a few minutes and a willingness to begin.
