Have you ever told yourself, “I’m just not creative”?

In this episode of Your Most Beautiful Life, we uncover the truth that you were made to create and not only that, but that creating is one of the most life-giving ways to wake back up to your own joy, energy, and purpose.

From scrapbooks and school projects to floral booths and photography, I share my own story of how creativity has taken many shapes across different seasons. You’ll hear how, in 2017, I dreamed of creating my first journal planner during a season of transition into the empty nest. That simple act of designing something I needed opened doors I could have never imagined — leading me into coaching, podcasting, and even writing bedtime stories for my grandkids. Each creation became a seed that grew into something new.

Most of all, we’ll explore the deeper rhythm: that our capacity to create isn’t something we invent on our own, but something we inherit from God Himself. Just as He ordered, filled, and delighted in His creation, we are invited to create and delight right where we are.
