Hosted by Sara Van Pée and Roxanne Doucet, this episode is a curated Best of 2025, drawing from 13 interviews with artists, writers, directors, and cultural workers who shared their stories, doubts, and wisdom.Through these voices, one question emerges: What does it really mean to be a creative today?From early feelings of otherness to professional turning points, from learning the craft to unlearning fear, this episode traces the emotional and practical realities of creative life — a living, evolving practice shaped by place, people, and self-trust.We explore:- How early sensitivity and difference shape creative identity- The influence of cities, culture, and public support- The craft of practice, attention, and curiosity- The emotional realities of freelance life: freedom, loneliness, resilience- Collaboration rooted in respect and integrity- Sustainable work lives through boundaries and self-knowledge- Fear, self-honesty, and knowing when to stay or leave- Redefining value, ease, and self-worth- Creativity as a healing, spiritual, and collective practiceThis episode is about being seen: seeing yourself, being mirrored by others, and building spaces where creativity can thrive without self-erasure.We are deeply grateful to our guests for their generosity and to our listeners for growing this space with us.
