How She Creates Podcast

Does creating for other people affect your creativity? How can you nurture your own creative process and style, while also creating custom work for others? In this episode brand designer, hand letterer, and artist, Kercia, chats with me about how the influence of clients (and even Instagram) affects our creative work. We chat about creative routines, prioritizing our own creative voices, how the input from others affect our work, and lots of creative musings - as always!

Have you ever struggled to help your partner understand your hobby? This is the number 1 struggle people share with me in their creative journey - lack of support and encouragement for their creative endeavors. I asked Life Design experts, Carlos and Susanne Hidalgo, to share the story of their relationship in today's episode. They open up about their struggles to define their own identities separately and as a couple, the death of their marriage, how they resurrected it and have designed a life of adventure and joy together. They share loving advice for supporting yourself and your partner through your creative journeys and encourage you to create your own Life Design.
