Living Boldly Creating Freely
I love all things creative and am having an exciting time creative adventuring! So here, I’ll be sharing my thoughts, experiences, and insights about everything I do. I write novels, podcast about creativity, interview inspiring creatives, mentor budding novelists, speak as the Creative Adventurer, and spend my time exploring my own creative expressions in multiple forms.
From overcoming obstacles and the advice from my podcast guests to the fascinating research articles I discover, I’ll be writing about anything that inspires me or catches my curiosity—nothing is off-limits! I’ll also be sharing my favourite books, podcasts, and people – if something is good you’ll hear about it!
If you enjoy a post, sign up below to get the latest updates and be the first to hear about my next adventure.
