Navigating Grief and Finding Healing with Tattoo Art

This episode of Your Ink Story is an intimate conversation about navigating grief and the healing one can find from tattoo art.

Our guest, Dr. Megan Daley, is a trauma and somatic informed mindset and burnout coach, who uniquely aids high-achieving women in male-dominated fields.

Doctor, podcaster, and author, Dr. Megan takes us on an intimate journey through her life story, punctuated and symbolized by the ink on her skin, revealing the incredible healing power of tattoos, with each one serving as a window to an important phase of her life.

From honoring her late father with an intricate design of a naval anchor and a medical caduceus embraced by watercolors, to a river and water-filled diamond symbolizing her healing journey; each mark carries a profound story.

Dr. Megan’s forearm tattoo is a compass with snowflake quadrants, and it links to personal experiences and her love for hiking and solo travel.

A fascinating addition to her ink is the thumb tattoo spelling 'trust', reflecting Dr. Megan’s belief in self-trust and fearlessly taking action, even amidst uncertainty.

Join us for an episode filled with resilience, healing, and self-discovery.
