  • 016: Creativity During Life Transitions and Big Shifts
    Jan 20 2026

    Creativity often becomes most alive when life shifts beneath our feet. This conversation explores how creative practices can become grounding anchors during seasons of transition, uncertainty, and identity change.

    Through stories of family, business building, grief, and fulfillment, the discussion reveals how creativity shows up not only in art, but in systems, silence, problem-solving, and daily rituals that restore footing. From art journaling to haiku writing, creative structure becomes a way to process emotion without carrying its weight forward.

    At its heart, this episode is an invitation to trust creativity as a companion through change, offering validation, color, and spaciousness when the next horizon is not yet clear.

  • 015: Navigating Personal Transformation Through Creativity

    Creative transformation often begins long before clarity arrives.

    Leaving familiar roles can open unexpected space for intuition, creativity, and deep personal growth.

Through reflection, shared experience, and the metaphor of the dragonfly, this conversation speaks to the courage it takes to trust inner guidance and allow evolution without forcing outcomes.

    Transformation rarely happens in isolation, and being witnessed can change everything. This dialogue offers reassurance for anyone navigating change, reminding us that creativity and intuition work together to guide the becoming.

  • 014: Making Time for Creative White Space
    Jan 6 2026

    Creativity does not thrive in constant busyness and requires space to breathe.

    Creative white space is the intentional openness we leave in our days, calendars, and minds, allowing creativity to emerge rather than being crowded out by productivity and responsibility. When creativity is treated as optional or unproductive, it is often the first thing to disappear, even though it plays a vital role in overall well-being and fulfillment.

    By choosing to intentionally schedule, honor, and celebrate creative time, creativity becomes a sustainable practice instead of an afterthought. Small experiments, accountability, and celebration help creativity integrate naturally and consistently into everyday life.

  • 013: Creative Journey From Beginner Artist to Confident Creator
    Dec 30 2025

    Creativity is not a gift you are born with but a practice that chooses you when you permit yourself to begin.

    Aimee Carlson sits down with Brittany Hernandez of Crooked Line Studio to explore creativity as a lived experience rather than a finished product. Brittany shares how art entered her life later than expected and became a mirror for self-awareness, emotional expression, and personal growth. The conversation weaves together creativity, science, teaching, and the courage it takes to keep creating even when the results feel messy or unfinished.

    This episode offers a grounded reminder that creativity fosters confidence, flexibility, and connection when we prioritize the process over perfection. It invites listeners to slow down, trust their creative instincts, and give themselves full permission to create in their own way.

  • 012: How to Invite Creativity Into Ordinary Moments
    Dec 23 2025

    Creativity does not require more time, more tools, or a perfectly clear schedule.

    Aimee Carlson explores how creativity can be woven into the smallest moments of daily life, from the quiet space between sleep and waking to the way you move through routines, conversations, meals, and rest. By noticing habitual patterns and gently shifting them, creativity becomes an accessible, nourishing way of living rather than something reserved for special projects or artistic output.

    When ordinary moments are met with curiosity and intention, they become opportunities for renewal, presence, and self-connection. Creativity begins to feel less like effort and more like a natural response to being fully alive.

  • 009: Overcoming Creative Blocks and Rebuilding Self-Expression
    Dec 2 2025

    A single moment of judgment can close a creative door that takes years to reopen.

    Aimee Carlson explores how early criticism, disappointment, or silence can shut down creativity and disconnect us from our natural expression. Through Rich Wright’s childhood story and her own experience as an art teacher, Aimee reveals how these old wounds shape adult creative patterns and how reclaiming creativity becomes an act of healing.

    This episode invites listeners to reconnect with what they loved before judgment stepped in and to take one small step back into that spark. It wraps with a reminder that creativity and life force are intertwined, and that the door to expression still belongs to you.

    Your creativity never left. It has simply been waiting for you to return.
