063: The Gift of Creativity

Season #2

What do you need to be your best creative self? Where and how do you do your most innovative, exciting, unique-to-you work? And how can you take intentional steps to give yourself that “maximum creativity environment” so that you are able to do that kind of work? The answers to these questions are going to be different for every artist and every creative listening to this podcast. After all, what you need to be creative is different from what I need to be creative. But today, let’s listen in on one creative entrepreneur’s journey to foster her ideal artistic environment as she worked to give herself the gift of creativity.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • How one artist managed her transition from a corporate position to self-employed creative entrepreneurship (and why she made that decision).
  • What to look for as you figure out what kind of environment helps you be your creative best.
  • Why it matters that you develop respect for your own artistic process.
  • How giving yourself time to be creative can help you be your artistic best.
  • Why labels like “part time” or “full time” are completely irrelevant to your journey as a creative entrepreneur.

In this episode, I mention the upcoming Thriving Narrators Retreat, which will take place August 22-25, 2024 in Cincinnati, OH. (Lisa Cahn of Prose Garden Productions, the guest for today's episode, will be a faculty member at this retreat.) You can learn more about this opportunity for audiobook narrators on my website, www.StarvingArtistNoMore.com/ThrivingNarratorsRetreat.

During our conversation, I mention the book Deep Work by Cal Newport. 

This episode includes an interview with Lisa Cahn, who is the owner of Prose Garden Productions. Lisa will be a faculty member at the Thriving Narrators Retreat, August 22-25, 2024 in Cincinnati, OH. You can learn more about Lisa and the retreat here.
