How She Creates Podcast

Welcome to episode 008 of the How She Creates podcast. Today we are talking about inspiration. Inspiration's a really big topic out there on the internet and if you can see the show notes you'll see that we've put inspiration in inverted commas because we're here to dispel the traditional meaning of inspiration. We're here to talk about the only type of inspiration that matters and that is the inspiration that leads to making. In this episode we're gonna talk about translating inspiration from the world around you that is beautiful and authentically yours, and you can just see yourself in it. We're gonna give you practical tips for how to find this kind of genuine inspiration and then also translate it onto canvas or paper or whatever way you create.

Until you've experienced it's magical powers, you wouldn't think that productivity lends itself to creativity. But oh man it does. In this episode we're chatting with productivity gurus, Nora Conrad and Pam Llaguno, to tell you exactly how it does and how you can get there. Leading a productive life leads to insane levels of creativity with more art to show for it. The power of getting shizz done is not just for men in business suits, but for those of us with a paintbrush behind our ears, our favourite shirts stained with ink, and who want to create without the guilt of knowing there's a pile of dishes in the sink.
