You don’t have to be holding a paintbrush or writing a novel to live a deeply creative life.

In this solo episode, I’m exploring what it means to be a creative observer and how showing up for the arts - as an audience member, supporter, or curious human - is just as powerful as making the art yourself.

We’ll talk about the beauty of participation, the importance of community, and how creativity can change your life even if you’re not the one on stage or in the studio.

Stay tuned until the end for some practical takeaways you can apply to your own creative journey, no matter what it looks like.

Key takeaways:

* Creativity can be experienced without producing art.

* Art is a conversation that involves both creators and audiences.

* Being around creative people can enhance your own creative experience.
