Hello creative friends,

Today’s episode is a little different, I’m kicking off a four-part solo series where we’ll slow down together, reflect on what we’ve been building, and make space to actually notice our growth.

- Pam

Do you ever finish something incredible… and then immediately move on without celebrating it? In this first episode of Building a Creative Life, host Pam Vale opens up about why so many of us downplay our accomplishments — and why acknowledgment is actually fuel for creativity.

Pam shares her personal journey, including the surprising lessons she learned while building a thriving creative community and launching this very podcast. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “doing enough,” this episode will help you pause, reflect, and see just how far you’ve already come.

This podcast is public so feel free to share it.

Listen to the full 4 part series:

Episode 1: I Built Something Amazing And Immediately Forgot About It, The Real Reason You Don't Feel Accomplished (It's Not What You Think)

Episode 2: Stop Forcing Yourself Into One Creative Box, Why "Jack Of All Trades" Is Actually A Compliment

Episode 3: How To Keep A Sketchbook When You Think You Can't Draw, You're Already Sketching — You Just Don't Know It Yet

Episode 4: Daily Rituals Are The Secret To A Creative Life, This Is Why Small Acts Matter More Than Big Projects
