SHOW NOTES:

In this episode of F*N Fridays with Francine, we dive into what creativity really means, especially in midlife. So many of us think creativity only counts if it looks like painting or drawing, when in reality it's our birthright. It shows up in problem-solving, business, coaching, hairdressing, parenting and all the ways we bring ideas to life. I share how I spent years saying “I’m not creative” until I finally realized my creativity just looked different.

We explore how creative practices like coloring, journaling or simple art can calm the nervous system, help us unplug from constant input and reconnect to ourselves. From there we expand into midlife as a renaissance instead of a crisis, and what it looks like to live in alignment with your values. I talk about my own wake-up call when I realized I wasn’t practicing the very things I teach my clients, and how choosing small daily rituals helped me come back to center.

You’ll hear simple creative rituals to try, how to create more spaciousness for your intuition and dreams, and why it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
