The Growing Creative Podcast
S1E1: Why Fight the Inner Critic?
In today's episode, Jane shares her story with the Inner Critic - the voice in your head that criticizes all your creative freedom. As you listen to this and future Growing Creative episodes, you'll sense that the metaphor of growing plants is so accurate for creative growth because so much of the growth happens under the soil, down in the dirt. It can be messy. Roots have to grow deep down into deep places to enable the flourishing and blooming we all desire to see.

Jane Boutwell is an artist & creative coach based in Atlanta, Georgia. She loves to nurture and empower others to pursue their creative callings.
"I am an artist with an inquisitive mind, a heart connected to nature and a soul yearning towards God…a child of dirt and dance…a beauty bringing blessing writer… a poetic painter and potter.
Starting with mud pies as a child in the backyard, my creativity includes tactile, intuitive, and deeply-in-touch-with-nature ways of being in the world. I see myself as an apprentice in God’s art studio of the natural world that is full of metaphor, imprinted with the character of the Maker.
It is my passion to share the shimmering beauty and deep truths I find in the creative medium that seems most fitting. Those creative expressions include gardening, quilting, writing, painting, sketching, ceramics, dancing, creative coaching, podcasting, and family life with my husband and four children in Tucker/Atlanta, Georgia."
