Creativity – Episode 001

April 19, 2015 by kirstenoliphant@gmail.com 4 Comments

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!

  • What energizes your creativity?
  • Do you get more excited about the creative side of art-making or the platform-building side?
  • Sometimes as adults we need validation that creativity and following your dreams is not just okay, but HEALTHY.
  • We are created to be creative. Whether from the Genesis narrative or not, do you agree?

When are we most fulfilled as humans? Answer in the #podcast.

    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. 🙂
