The Unbound Creative

Delight Is Not a Luxury - It’s Your Superpower


Listen Later

In Episode 10 of The UnBound Creative, Valerie and Mak celebrate their milestone by diving into a quietly radical idea: delight as a wayfinder.

We live in a world that values hustle, productivity, and achievement, and yet, so many of us feel lost or disconnected. What if the missing piece isn’t more effort, but more delight?

In this deeply reflective and joy-sparking conversation, you’ll learn:

  • Why delight is not frivolous, but one of your most powerful creative tools
  • The difference between false and true delight (and how to tell which one you’re following)
  • How small glimmers of joy can be clues to your next big move
  • Why “figuring it out” is less effective than being open, present, and attuned
  • How to start noticing (and trusting) what lights you up, even in the smallest ways

If you’ve been waiting for permission to soften, pause, and listen to what’s truly calling you, this is it.
