S2 E2: The Joy of Messy Magic with Upcycler Wibke Rettberg


Listen Later

If you ever want to be creative, just get started. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Better to start imperfectly than never perfectly

🦜In this warm and *ahem* sometimes tangential chat, Bec reconnects with her friend (& old client) Wibke Rettberg who’s a passionate upcycler, nature-lover, and creative spirit. Wibke finds beauty in the overlooked and overused and joy in the process of creation, whatever takes her fancy she pursues.

From “messy runs” (yes, you’ll want to hear about those!) to the tug-of-war between creating and selling, this episode celebrates imperfection, curiosity, and the simple ways creativity shows up in everyday life. Re-composing beauty is the way to go.

Show Notes / Takeaways:

🗣️1. Creativity in ConversationSometimes the best chats meander and that’s part of the joy.

🚫 2. Perfectionism is OverratedFollow your muse, go ahead and leave projects unfinished to embrace the act of simply making whatever you’re drawn to.

🧵 3. The Maker’s Dilemma.Handmade and one-of-a-kind creations make the heart full but scaling them can be a tough balance between creativity and the realities of commerce.

🫠 4. The Word of the Day is MessyWibke’s “messy runs” (curbside treasure hunts) or innate ability to create a mess 5 minutes into a project remind us that creativity often begins in chaos.

🐚 5. Small Acts of Creation can Make You HappyWhether it’s rearranging flowers, fashioning a quick necklace, or using empty cartons for a bit of art therapy, creativity can help change your mindset.
