Have you ever questioned your creativity? Maybe you lost it somewhere diaper changes and your kids leaving the nest. Or maybe you never thought you were creative and now you’re in midlife and looking to bring it back. We all have access to our creativity and today's podcast will help you rediscover it so you can let that side of you come out and play!

Tell me more…

Today's guest Stephanie Raffelock will guide us! She's the author of two books. The award-winning books, “A Delightful Little Book on Aging” and “Creatrix Rising: Unlocking the Power of Midlife Women.” She’s also a voiceover artist. We dive deep into exploring the concept of reclaiming words, our ancestry, and embracing our creativity differently.

What you’ll learn:

• How Stephanie finds purpose through art and small creations and how you can too!
• Why it’s important to redefine, rediscover, and nurture one's creativity.
• How to look at reinvention differently and recognize we are always reinventing ourselves. 
• The importance of listening to the universe's messages.
• What’s a “crone” and how shifting the paradigm to “creatrix” can lift your creative power?
• Why women are tough on themselves and ways to give ourselves more credit for our successes. 
• Why it’s essential to continue our relationships with our ancestors and how it can benefit us.

Your creativity is always with you,

Laurie
