Claire Waite Brown on the Feminine Roadmap podcast

Creativity Found: finding creativity later in life

Remember the joy of finger painting as a child or the thrill of your first dance recital? As adults, we often lose touch with these creative pursuits, trading them in for routine and productivity. In this episode of the Feminine Roadmap podcast, Claire Waite Brown (that's me!), the creative mind behind Creativity Found, is here to challenge this notion. She shares her personal journey of reconnecting with her love for the arts, culminating in the formation of an online community for creative learners and educators.
Claire and host, Gina Farrar, dive deep into the topic of creativity, exploring its diverse forms and debunking some of its misconceptions. We discuss how creativity is not only confined to traditional art forms, but can be expressed in our everyday lives. We share insights on how to overcome the fear of judgement, the pressure of perfection, and the power of embracing our unique creative expressions. We also highlight lessons from Claire's dance and drama classes, illuminating the beauty of being present in the moment and the joy of free expression.
In the final part of the conversation, Claire touches upon the opportunities of midlife, a period ripe for personal growth and self-discovery. She provides strategies to navigate this stage, urging listeners to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new experiences.
Claire talks about the myriad creative activities to be found at her website creativityfound.co.uk, and the added benefits she gleans from supporting small businesses who want to reintroduce the joy and playfulness of creativity into our adult lives.
So, why not take a leap and tune in to explore your creative side? You might just surprise yourself!
