68. Healing Through Art and Tattoos with Yvette Castro
Episode 68
Wednesday, 23 September, 2026
Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast!In this episode of Herstory is Medicine, I sit down with Yvette, tattoo artist, mother, and founder of Honey & Myrrh Collective, for a personal conversation about motherhood, postpartum depression, religious trauma, spirituality, art, tattoos, and healing.Yvette shares about growing up in a church environment that affected her relationship with God and spirituality. We talk about the process of questioning what she had been taught and finding her own way back to a spiritual relationship that felt authentic to her.Yvette also opens up about experiencing a very dark postpartum depression after becoming a mother and how that season challenged her identity, mental health, and relationship with herself.We explore how art and tattooing became part of Yvette's healing journey and how that personal experience eventually led her to create Honey & Myrrh Collective, an intentional private tattoo studio where the experience is about more than the tattoo itself.This conversation is ultimately about reclamation—reconnecting with yourself, questioning what no longer feels true, and allowing your story to evolve as you heal.In this episode, we talk about:Postpartum depression and motherhoodReligious trauma and spiritualityGrowing up in a high-control church environmentRebuilding your relationship with GodArt and tattooing as healingHoney & Myrrh CollectiveIdentity and motherhoodSelf-trust and reclamationContinuing to heal and evolveIf Yvette's story resonates with you, follow or subscribe to Herstory is Medicine, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who may need to hear it.Connect with Yvette IGHoney and Myrrh Collective Chapters00:00 Introduction to Yvette's Journey06:04 Childhood and Family Dynamics11:55 Navigating Religious Trauma18:03 The Healing Power of Art and Tattoos24:02 Embracing Identity and Self-Expression30:02 Lessons Learned and Moving Forward32:40 The Quest for Validation35:18 Breaking Free from External Validation37:23 Leaving the Church: A Journey of Self-Discovery40:41 The Comfort of Familiarity43:27 Reconnecting with God: A Personal Journey46:52 The Role of Forgiveness in Healing51:10 The Importance of Self-Care and Discipline57:21 Navigating Postpartum Challenges65:05 Navigating Motherhood and Personal Identity68:07 Fostering Creativity in Children71:29 The Importance of Therapy and Mental Health76:41 Building Strong Relationships Through Communication80:13 Redefining Success and Abundance85:34 Gratitude and Life's JourneyIf you are feeling called to work together and would like more information about my services through Nourish Inc, I invite you to apply to work with me using the link below.
