What Are You Ready to Reclaim?

What’s something you love that you’ve set aside? In this episode of The Reclaimed Podcast, Jane Bellante and Royce Hunt Bell explore what it means to return to your own interests and ask what you want for yourself now.

We talk about how our identities become intertwined with the roles we fill and how unfamiliar it can feel to choose something simply because it matters to us. Jane shares how a major health scare brought self-worth into focus, while Royce reflects on claiming the word “artist” and making room for creative growth.

Our conversation connects experimenting with art to experimenting with life. Trying an unfamiliar material or walking somewhere new can give you a chance to discover what excites you. Following that curiosity helps you learn more about who you are today.

Along the way, we explore how comparison influences our choices and how the way we speak to ourselves shapes what we’re willing to pursue.

What are you ready to reclaim? We’d love to hear your answer—and whether you’d enjoy a collection of prompts for experimenting with art and everyday life.
