Happy new year! Claire Waite Brown is in the studio this month! She’s the host of the Creativity Found podcast and the founder of the Creativity Found directory and community, all dedicated to helping grown-ups reconnect with their creative spark. On her podcast, Claire speaks with people who’ve found — or re-discovered — their creativity later in life, unpacking their childhood experiences with the arts, the detours that pulled them away, and the brave, often joyful journeys back.

But Claire doesn’t just share these Creativity Found stories — she’s living one herself. In her 40s, Claire joined a hip hop dance group for adults, stepping into an entirely new dance style after studying contemporary dance for years. She talks openly about how challenging, humbling, and joyful it was to be a beginner again. She’s also returned to her love of theatre through improv and pantomime, and even started Creativity Found having never podcasted before, proving that you don’t need permission, experience, or a perfect plan to begin.

Claire describes herself as someone who isn’t afraid to take creative risks, and through her work, she’s realized something powerful: she has her own Creativity Found story coming back to so many of her creative passions in adulthood. She’s also a book editor and a dance fitness instructor! If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start something creative, or if you’ve felt the pull to return to something you once loved, this episode is for you. Check it out!
