Episode 210: The Power of Creative Community

Connecting Humans, Art, and Craft

Hey friends!

I’m back, and this week we are diving into the power of sharing your creative work and building community—you all know this is something that I care about deeply, and I’m so excited to share it with you. No pressure, no perfection—just showing up and finding what works for you.

If you’re ready to connect with other creative humans, find your people, and level up your creativity, this episode is exactly what you need.

What You'll Get from This Episode

This episode is all about embracing your inner creative vulnerability and finding strength in community. We’re chatting about:

  • How sharing your creative work builds connection and boosts your confidence.

  • Why a supportive space (like the Awesome Ladies Project) can transform your creative practice.

  • How collaboration and even the littlest bit of feedback can spark big creative breakthroughs.

What We Talked About

We kicked things off this week with talking about how the act of sharing your creative work builds connection and confidence. It’s all about showing your creative process and embracing vulnerability to learn and grow. It’s not about making the perfect prettiest thing to go viral on social media.

We then explored the magic of finding supportive spaces—safe spots where you can share your story and feel inspired. And lately, we took a bit of time to celebrate the power of collaboration. Whether it’s a receiving a small suggestion from a friend or a full cooperative project, every bit of connection adds to our collective tapestry of creativity, which in turn makes us all better versions of our creative selves.

Big Takeaways

  1. Sharing Fuels Connection & Growth
    Sharing your work builds the bridge between you and a world of creative possibility. In this episode, we explore how putting your story out there helps you see your art in a whole new light and builds your confidence. When you share, you create a cycle where your growing self-assurance feeds back into your creative process, making every piece even more vibrant. Sharing is the key to unlocking your creative potential.

  2. Supportive Spaces Matter
    Finding a community that vibes with your values can change everything. We talked about how being part of a something bigger than yourself—whether it’s a one-on-one chat or a community like the Awesome Ladies Project—lets you share your story without judgment. It’s about finding a space where you feel seen, safe, and celebrated, no matter what stage you’re at. The right community is essential to you thriving as an artist.

  3. Collaboration Sparks Inspiration
    Collaboration is great, both big and small. It’s all about taking your creative ideas and mixing and matching them with some creative ideas from your friends. We talked about how even a tiny piece of feedback can turn a creative block into a breakthrough and open up new ways to see your work. By sharing your story and engaging with others, you invite diverse perspectives that can transform your art into something you would never have discovered along.
