237. Coloring Outside the Lines: Jackie Laurian Long’s Bold Leap into Wellness

In this episode of How’d She Do That?, Emily chats with Jackie Laurian Long—founder of TheraPaint Studio in Nashville. Jackie shares how a tough season in her life led her to create something beautiful: a paint-throwing wellness studio that helps people release stress, emotion, and energy through art. From navigating her husband’s surgeries to caring for loved ones through health struggles, Jackie turned her personal journey into a space where others can heal too. TheraPaint isn’t just about art—it’s about letting go, having fun, and finding peace.

What You’ll Hear:

• How Jackie’s background in psychology helped shape TheraPaint

• The emotional story behind how the studio got started

• Why throwing paint can be surprisingly therapeutic

• How the studio keeps things eco-friendly (yes, even the paint gets composted!)

• Events and experiences offered at TheraPaint—like a special “A Moment to Breathe” day for Mental Health Awareness Month
