"There is a humility and a child-likeness that's necessary for being an artist and letting your creativity grow. A certain willingness to be foolish is inherent in the work of seeing the flicker of a half-formed idea of something new & giving it the respect, the belief, the credence . . .  to honor it and nourish it— to suspend disbelief long enough for it to become something believable."  Join Jane in a discussion of embracing the childlike, early stages of small beginnings.   Jane Boutwell is an artist & creative coach based in Atlanta, Georgia.

08/24/21 The Growing Creative PodcastS1E1: Why Fight the Inner Critic?In today's episode, Jane shares her story with the Inner Critic - the voice in your head that criticizes all your creative freedom. As you listen to this and future Growing Creative episodes, you'll sense that the metaphor of growing plants is so accurate for creative growth because so much of the growth happens under the soil, down in the dirt. It can be messy. Roots have to grow deep down into deep places to enable the flourishing and blooming we all desire to see.  Links from this episode: Artist Wyanne Thompson: https://www.instagram.com/wyanne/  & ​https://www.wyanne.com  Dan Allender Story Workshop: https://theallendercenter.org/offerings/workshops/the-story-workshop/ James K.
