I so love this beautiful lady..I love how she is just herself...I struggle with depression & anxiety but when Im in a downer I can watch her create & feel so much lighter...❤💜💛🧡💚💙🇦🇺🌹
I absolutely Love Dyan!!! She is such a beautiful person and I feel like she has so much love to give and everything about her has enriched us, viewers! I binge-watch her all the time! Just love listening to her and her messages! Keep your talents and your lovely content coming!!!! Much love and light!
I love this lady. I was so relieved to find out I'm adhd. It explained so much. And I'm an abuse survivor. I struggle with depression. Right now, something weird is going on and I don't know what it is. But various kinds of art HELP. I so admire her openness and her mission is so extremely admirable. Thank you for sharing this. I love your products!!!!
I love her! I have chronic fatigue syndrome fibromyalgia, primary immunodeficiency, major depression disorder, and ptsd. Getting into my craftroom and losing track of the world helps me so much! Otherwise at this point I'd just sleep my life completely away with relief I missed most of it. My mother passed from COVID a week ago Thursday. I'm having a horrible time with depression but binge watching crafters gets me up and motivated to keep trying. Dyan is an amazing motivator!!
So sorry to hear about your mom, hope it will be a bit better soon xxx I feel the same about my art, it helps us to do something positive, hang in there, big hugs from a craft-friend 😘👍🏻💜💜💜
We are planted all over the world, for such a time as this. We are different but the same, opening doors for souls to live without the fear of losing our minds. Free to create is the journey which never ends. Thanks for sharing.
Dyan Reaveley is the only artist that motivated me to actively engage in art journaling. For the first time, I have been motivated to start and complete an entire journal. She is such an inspiration. Listening to her story makes me love her even more than I did before. Thank you for this!
Dyan, I am amazed at how similar our stories are and I am so encouraged & inspired by your story. ❤ We are totally soul sisters! Your philosophy and approach to art is really what I was teaching at a women's ministry. I had to convince them, through a project, that they ARE creative & they CAN make beautiful art. Several of them totally believed they had absolutely no creativity or ability. Unfortunately, i had to part ways from the ministry due to a disagreement. It was my hearts desire to teach women how to heal themselves through art therapy. I focus on paper crafts, primarily cards. I had plans to teach the basics and build on each class with techniques. Unfortunately the founder thought they should change my format to do premade kits that are merely assembled by referring to a completed sample. This would not bring any life to their creativity. Ot would not spark life into a therapeutic craft that breathes life into them. Putting together "cookie cutter" kits is not alive or full of creative opportunities that spark curiosity to discover more. This is my heart. I too, live with fibromyalgia that causes chronic fatigue, i am also bipolar2 & suffer with complex PTSD. These last 3 years of my life have been very scary & devastating. I'm struggling with what I think is dissociative disorder, or a breaking off of my psyche to protect my inner self. It has been tough to find motivation or desire to craft or garden, which have been my 2 passions for over 6 or more years. These hobbies have literally saved my sanity in a devastating relationship. I wish I could friend you on Facebook. I will follow you on Instagram for now. Love, hugs and blessings on you!
Thank you for this I am a mother of twins with adhd and I myself have a painful illness witch brought mental health problems and anxiety. I am 39 soon and the thought of "is this how my life will be for 40 more years?" And "do I have the right to use my energy on art when there are so many needs around me?" is always present. I started my youtube chanel in the middle if a pandemic and at the same time my boys where diagnosed. After this I feel less a shamed that I NEED artjournaling and mixed media to feel like I have a life and a purpose to someday transform my "mini youtube chanel" to a bigger one. Thank you again for helping me 🙏❤
I just subscribed to you Julia, will watch some videos later 😊 I make videos too, it’s hard work making videos while ill. Every time I get one done it’s tempting to focus on not doing enough but honestly getting anything done is a victory.
Thank you for sharing. What a Diva and Mentor, you are just an amazing person, Dyan. Thank you for giving me so much hope and inspiration. This video was ment to be discovered by me on you tube today!!! Please take care and carry on with your beautiful talent. Love you from Benita (South Africa)❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful and inspiring story. I’m sure so many could benefit from hearing Dyan’s story. It always amazes me when someone’s struggles with what seems so many insurmountable issues, but wins over the odds; whether it be through sheer determination or support or just by the grace of God, or all three, they keep going and make something so meaningful out of their life....and that even the simplest art, doodling or crafting can make such a therapeutic difference for so many. It’s “the magic healing power of creativity.”Thank you for sharing this Dyan and Scrapbook.com.
Thank you for sharing. I needed it. I struggle with depression, anxiety, and PTSD from traumatic events and abuse I went through. I also have a lot of fear of failing.
I thought she was wonderful, I have attended 4 in person workshops. Thrilled by everything Dyan. Until Covid, and she posted the most real video ever. She was struggling with isolation and let’s face it, fear. So was I. But, what did Dyan do? She gifted the world with online classes. Lots of them. I had something to look forward to, people who loved what I loved to connect with. She was real, she gave us a gift and I will forever be her fan. She’s a hero in my opinion!
I decided to listen to this on a day I was struggling with my depression. I listened to her story and sniffled all the way through. When she mentioned Audio books and making at the same time, I grabbed my crocheting and kept listening and it was very peaceful. Thanks Dyan for being your awesome self, and being so brave and candid with your journey. I hope I can meet you someday :)
This resonates so much for me. Right down to the chronic physical and mental illness. rapid cycling bipolar and panic disorder is exactly why I started my art journey a yr and a half ago. I was to try to manage those highs that are too high. It gave me something to focus on. The only drawback is when I’m manic, I struggle to keep it to a healthy time frame and not create for 24 hrs straight. I’m aware of it tho and that’s half the battle. Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs. You moved me to tears.
This Podcast is amazing. I just love that you are spreading the word that mental illness is real and there is hope. You are amazingly gifted. Love your art! Praise God for giving you the hope and vision of art.
Thank you for doing this interview. Dyan when I discovered You Tube you were the first artist I found and fell in love with. I had been painting and creating but your style was so fun and freeing. And most importantly I was going through a divorce. And giving up that life and lots of my possessions. Now that I look back that was a big part of my healing and discovery about my life. Thank you sooo much, you are an angel. And you are not strange your Dyan. Peace.
I love your accent, I've not heard you speak before!!! I could NOT draw, my art "major" was in photography, why did I have to learn that darn perspective!!! LoL I never graduated, missed that drawing class, science and one more year of history. What an awesome story, just 6 minutes in! I'm also the "black sheep in the family" along with what you've not spoken. You are just fabulous to listen to, so many parallels, it's uncanny. And what I'm not doing what you are exactly, I will try some of your "cures" I'm a slipper lover, I rarely wear them living in Florida, but there are occasional nights or mornings. It's a manger (rhymes with danger) in the US for baby Jesus. How special to have one made by your Dad. My Dad was an amazing electronic repairman, high up with IBM. God love him, he was the biggest mansplainer EVER!!! LoL! Super, super smart. Never spent a day in college, 2 years in the Navy, drafted right out of high school, then right into a job after his service to the US. First job was with RCA then onto IBM, his only three jobs in life, 30 years with the latter. Hard to accomplish in this day and age.
Thank you for this interview. I've dealt with fibromyalgia for almost 26 years. Major depression, anxiety, binge eating disorder, OCD and 5 years ago I found out that my noise sensitivity has a name. Misophonia. It causes extreme reactions to repetitive noises. I've lived in an apartment for 5 years and the noise is overwhelming to me. Dyan's comments about headphones was so helpful because I spend so much time with my earbuds in to block out the noise. I am very resentful that I have to do that but maybe I should look at it differently. I wish my fibro and depression didn't affect my creativity. Plus my OCD is paralyzing. My mom passed away 2 years ago and when I would show her my creations she would say "but what do you do with it? I said we artists have to create. It’s what we do. But I'm having trouble lately. It's been weeks since I created anything. Mentally, physically, it's so hard. The desire is there but I fight every day just to get out of bed. Dyan is an inspiration. I will get back to creating.
Thank you so much for this presentation! I think there are so many of us that feel inadequate and lack courage and good spirit. You give me hope for the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH:-)
>This is an incredible disclosure 🌺 I was always drawn to Dyan & her work . I love her as she is 🌻🌻🌻🫖😇✨ PS - My dad made things for me too. He was a great carpenter..
Thanks for doing this interview! LOVE Dyan... her art, her personality, her honesty... all of her!!! Think I've seen almost all of her videos and read a lot of her blog because she inspires me!!! 💗💗💗
Dylan thank you so much for sharing your story. I struggle with severe PTSD. Creating has always been something I was drawn to, but never really pursued because I was told I wasn't good at it. You have opened a new door for me.
I can not believe how much I identified with this! My mom was English, and we never really got along. Art teachers that “suggested” I not come back, on & on on it goes. Thank you so much for this podcast!!!!!
Brings tears to my eyes hearing this. I too have a lot of pain. Small amount started in 7/8 grade. Was told growing pains etc. it kept going. New pains, new issues then in 2004 someone rear ended me. I never healed from it n now suffer more pain from it. As in both of my arms have limited mobility. I have a near 11 yr old sweet little boy. Lost a baby at birth. I want another n I don’t think w my pain I can. I cry. I’m 42. I feel I’m too old. I started buying supplies to make cards about 3 yrs ago. Made very few as I’m very OCD but bought so much that I’m not organized. Sigh. I found mixed media n love it more so have bought more n more. Not organized tho so I I never try. I just realized it’s been 3 yrs of collecting and barely using. I have many things that you mention. Also abuse from diff ppl as a child n teen. Most important is I homeschool my son, teach him about God. Teaching, caring for other littles. Teaching in church. It’s so important but I love art. I never thought I could do it cuz I can’t draw.
What a wonderful interview! I too struggle with my mental health and art journaling is very helpful for me. Thanks so much for sharing this information! 💜
This was the most wonderful interview. I am not artistic but I love playing. I have found that my anxiety and depression has threatened to overwhelm me so much that I have tried to work on coloring and scrapbooking. I have bought her paints and journals to try it but I haven’t for every reason she described.. I need to try the headphones. She is truly inspirational.
Thank you so much for being so candid, and so brave. It's so comforting to know there are others who struggle but also find comfort in art. Also totally going to try the audio book thing!!
I just learned the most important thing from this lovely lady. Put on headphones and listen to something that you have to pay attention to, while you are doing something else. When I do that I get so much more out of the thing I am listening to. I just didn’t know that was a real thing, so I felt guilty for doing something else while listening. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
Dyan inspires me in so many ways. Dyan, you weren't naughty or bad, you were misunderstood. In all honesty, you were perfectly loveable and anyone who couldn't see that was the one in error.
I love this artist. I’m new to knowing about her and I’m anxious to know more. This podcast means so much to me. I listen to audiobooks and podcasts as I craft as well. It must do something with my hands as I listen!
I just love Dylan’s art, I love all her tutorials, and she is so brave to open up about her troubles, love her to bits, 🇦🇺😉 and thank her for this podcast , so lovely and so helpful to us want to be crafters ♥️
I love your art! You are an artist. Thank you for sharing your very personal story. I always watch you when I see a you tube! You are wonderful. You are enough!
I really liked this podcast, people like some of what I do and I feel like it really looks like crap , but I enjoy trying to make a project. I like how Dyan lets go and tells how it really it is.
Wow, I am blown away by her honestly. As I'm sitting here crying , having a panic attack. I just got off the phone with my therapist. I look at my tablet and see this video. I can't believe how meant to be this is. Thank you for sharing I love you!!!!
What a story of such a special person. I just love her. I'm so glad the world found her. I was very happy to hear her tips. Very meaningful and helpful. 🧡 PS I also suffer from depression and anxiety.
Thank you for your authenticity, Dyan! I never knew the struggles you’ve faced in your life, and how you’ve overcome so much. It means a lot to me, as I was diagnosed with ADHD at 41 and also struggled with chronic pain and depression for many years. I’ve alway wanted to be an artist, but always felt I wasn’t creative or focused enough to do well with it. When I discovered your brand and your fabulous outlook about art for FUN’S sake, it gave me permission to create freely. You’re a lovely soul-thank you for your work and the encouragement you’ve given so many!
Dyan, I love your art, love your personality, and you are an inspiration to me and so many others!! Mental illness isn't a curse, it can be a blessing in disguise, and you are proof of that.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who does art to help with their depression,
I so needed to hear encouraging words to create just for the joy and not for "perfection"
Wow! Absolutely appreciate this podcast and Diane Reaveley for her strength.

Sending you so much love, Angela 💞
Thank you everyone, the love greatly appreciated!
I wish I could love this times 10! Instead of just a like.

Kudos to Dyan for being so honest and open about a surprisingly still misunderstood and taboo subject.
Wow thank you for sharing this! It really touched so many things in me. I have no words but thank you 😊
Well done 👏
I just love Dyan Reaveley! Her style is just lovely. She gives me inspiration. I would love to meet her one day.
Dyan is such a special person and so dear to us in the mixed media world. Thank you for sharing her story
This was such an inspiring podcast. Thank you for your transparency and honesty Dyan.
I’m glad I’d listened to this podcast which is not something I do. It’s timely and truly made my day. Thank you Scrapbook.com and Dyan.
I mean Dyan 👍🏻😘😂🤗🤗🤗
Love her art and attitude. She is amazing and hopeful!
Thank you Dyan, you allowed me to begin my journey of journaling #mentalhealth.
Wow, I am blown away by her honestly. As I'm sitting here crying , having a panic attack. I just got off the phone with my therapist. I look at my tablet and see this video. I can't believe how meant to be this is. Thank you for sharing I love you!!!!
❤
THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL INTERVIEW
Thank you for sharing the reality of life and how each person finds their way through art.

Thank you for your authenticity, Dyan!
I never knew the struggles you’ve faced in your life, and how you’ve overcome so much. It means a lot to me, as I was diagnosed with ADHD at 41 and also struggled with chronic pain and depression for many years. I’ve alway wanted to be an artist, but always felt I wasn’t creative or focused enough to do well with it. When I discovered your brand and your fabulous outlook about art for FUN’S sake, it gave me permission to create freely. You’re a lovely soul-thank you for your work and the encouragement you’ve given so many!
Dyan, I love your art, love your personality, and you are an inspiration to me and so many others!! Mental illness isn't a curse, it can be a blessing in disguise, and you are proof of that.
