In this inaugural podcast episode I am talking about creativity, writing, and the origin of this site and podcast. I am a little weird in that I get excited about writing, but I also LOVE social media and the idea of connecting with people. (That’s how I try to think of platform—connecting with people with mutual interests.) Maybe creativity looks like baking. Maybe it looks like coming up with activities for your kids. Maybe it looks like content creation in the blog world or the professional one. Maybe it looks like writing a novel or a song or a devotional book. Whatever your avenue is, I hope this episode encourages you to embrace it!

Hi Kirsten,
This is a cool podcast, I am not a Christian and I have only started following your podcast. Your voice is relaxing and I noticed that you can go on and on with your thoughts. Going now to the 2nd ep. 🙂
I’m so glad! I hope that it’s inspiring to your creative side and also gives you some tools to help.
