Your inner creative

I was recently interviewed about my experience as a “creative” and my first thought was “aren’t we all creatives?”

The answer is yes. And as I stepped through the interview process I quickly realized that was the intention of the podcast - to connect everyone to their innate identity as a creative, and discover what potential factors foster creativity. (check out the full interview here)

FOR ME, I had the unique opportunity of not only having my creativity encouraged, but even highlighted as a child, especially in my formative years. My parents were a musical duo and we often did music together as a whole family (like…daily). I was also homeschooled through 4th grade and many of my assignments included writing poetry, creating collages from magazines and creating art. Beyond that, I grew up in a church community which further fostered creativity - specifically music. So… yeah I consider myself pretty lucky!

Once I left home at 18 I quickly realized that creative, expressive community isn’t automatic. That you have to put effort into cultivating this kind of thing (adulting, am I right?). That, my friends, is why I do what I do.

WE ARE ALL CREATIVE. Period. It doesn't matter if you devote hours of your day to your art, or simply feel a connection when you are in nature. It is within you. And I invite you to awaken it… Whether thats’ by taking a moment now to draw a doodle, write a few words or whatever inspiration sparks you!
