The Creative Exponent

So now you’ve decided you are creative and you want to protect and foster it...now what? This week Marian and Shaunna wrap up the introductory episodes to The Creative Exponent and talk about the realities of sharing your work, with a small or large audience. They chat about the importance of developing a thick skin, and how the benefits largely outweigh any downsides of sharing your creative work. They talk through strategies to help you face criticism or negative feedback and encourage you to, once again, be the owner of your creative voice.

This week Marian and Shaunna chat about the next foundational piece of your creativity: Upholding it. They laugh about Shaunna’s “failed” Pinterest birthday cake, and how her daughter reminded her that she was the one teaching her to go for it and try new things.

Out of the mouths of babes, right? They are real about how easily we criticize ourselves, and how belief in ourselves is a practice, and one that takes time and intentionality. How fine the balance is of allowing feedback in and learning how to release it when it no longer serves your creative expansion. They encourage you to uphold your creativity, you have to own it, protect it, and foster it. That this creativity is yours to have and yours to give...no one has the power to take that away from you.

This week Marian and Shaunna delve into busting the myths surrounding creativity: you’re not creative, you aren’t good enough, and that creativity is only for kids, actors, and artists. They argue the case for YOUR creativity and share their beliefs that creativity is for everyone and should not be contained inside of a box. They share silly stories of their childhoods, and how our upbringings can shape our definition of creativity, while sharing their own insecurities and roadblocks along the way. They hope this episode gives you the courage to find creativity within yourself and to blend that creativity into your world every single day.
