Valerie and Mak McKeehan launch their new podcast, The Unbound Creative, dedicated to helping creatives break free from societal constraints and self-imposed limitations to discover a more expansive, authentic creative life.
• Creativity is an essence of being, not just an act—bringing forth something that didn't exist before

• Our brains are wired to resist creativity and change, operating from a protection mechanism

• The soul craves adventure and expression while the brain seeks safety and comfort

• True fulfillment comes through experiencing flow state rather than merely achieving calm

• Permission to iterate and evolve is essential—you don't have to stick with your first idea forever

• Creativity operates from abundance—the more you light up, the more you light others up

• Breaking free from outdated myths like the "starving artist" narrative opens new possibilities

• Embracing discomfort is necessary for growth—when you feel comfortable, you're not expanding
