Do you ever feel like everything’s already been done — so why create? In this episode of The Creative & Curious Podcast, host Leanne Foley explores what it really means to create something remarkable — and why it doesn’t have to be completely original to be meaningful.

Using a warm and memorable metaphor (yes, strawberry milkshake included!), this episode reminds us that your unique creative flavour is what makes your work stand out — not whether you were the first to do it.

You’ll discover:

• Why originality is overrated

• How your voice and personal touch make your work meaningful

• What Seth Godin says about what “remarkable” really means

• A mindset shift to help you enjoy the process more than the pressure

• Why creativity is about connection — not competition

✨ You don’t have to be the first. You just have to be yourself.
