Creative Genius
Kate Shepherd
Humanity is glitching. And it can all be traced back to a series of limiting beliefs we hold around creativity; what it is, what it has to look like, and who has it in them (or doesn't).
I speak to artists, actors, award winning musicians, TV producers, comedians, creative psychologists, writers (including a New York Times bestselling author) and even an Oscar nominated film director about creativity, the creative process, limiting beliefs that keep us stuck AND the magic that can happen when we relearn how to listen to our hearts.
Creative Genius is a love letter to the creativity that lives inside ALL of us - through these conversations, I am on a mission to help as many people as I can to remember that it is in all of us, so we can stop glitching.

01 - Amanda Evanston: Cultivating Creativity
In the first episode of Creative Genius, we sit down with Amanda Evanston to hear about her own journey of cultivating creativity. She recently launched Insider’s Studio, an online community where she teaches art classes, gives weekly talks, and stewards a supportive, nurturing community focused on painting and creativity. Seriously pursuing your creative passion is a big move. Often our biggest obstacle is ourselves. Our doubts, our confidence, our need for external validation, and that little voice within that might be telling us “you can’t do it” can stop us from exploring creativity. Believing in ourselves and finding a way to push past that voice and listen to the voice that’s been telling us “you can do this” instead, is critical in unlocking our creative genius. In this episode, Amanda tells us the one key thing in how she was raised that she credits with her being able to be a wildly free creative person and how even if it was missing in your childhood, it’s not too late to lock it in now to cultivate your creativity. “It’s important to know you have this amazing thing inside of you, and that you can shepherd it and let it grow.” My favourite Amanda Evanston work tends to be whatever she is working on, but if I had to pick one, you can see it here https://kateshepherdcreative.com/blogs/creative-genius-the-blog/creative-genius-podcast-episode-1-cultivating-creativity-with-amanda-evanstonFind out how more about how to join Amanda Evanston’s Insider’s Studio https://www.amandaevanstonlearning.com/Kate Shepherd: website | instagram | facebookAmanda Evanston: website | instagram | facebook
