How does creativity manifest in unexpected places? Creative out-of-the-box editor Colleen Kern joins us to explore creativity as our essential "fifth state of being" alongside physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.
Colleen shares how she transitioned from the rigid world of accounting to embracing creative editing work, helping authors clarify their vision and refine their message. She reveals the cathartic journey authors experience when birthing a book, from overcoming imposter syndrome to accepting their wisdom and finding their authentic voice. Through this process, Colleen witnesses profound personal transformation as writers step into the vulnerability of sharing their stories.
Discovering her own neurodivergence revolutionized her approach to work, leading her to find communities that embrace different ways of creating and producing. Her insights on "spoon theory" and energy management offer a valuable perspective for anyone balancing creative pursuits with energy-limiting conditions.
Her philosophy of imperfection - giving herself "permission to use every page badly" in her sketchbook and embracing creativity without self-judgment. Her thoughts on AI in writing reveal both its potential as an ideation tool and its limitations in capturing the uniquely human frequency that comes through authentic creative expression.
