Creativity Found: finding creativity later in life

0
Crafts #128

Real-life stories of finding or returning to creativity in adulthood.
I'm Claire, and I re-found my creativity after a time of almost crippling anxiety. Now I want to share the stories of other people who have found or re-found their creativity as adults, and hopefully inspire many more grown-ups to get creative. 
I chat with my guests about their childhood experiences of creativity and the arts, how they came to the creative practices they now love, the barriers they had to overcome to start their creative re-awakening, and how what they do now benefits their whole lives.

    Must listen for creatives
    I love listening to this podcast as you get to hear stories of how people found creativity in their lives. So much of what counts as "work" seems to discount creativity yet this podcast brings back the notion that creativity can manifest itself across all facets of our lives.
