Creativity to Guide Us Through: Anna Brones

from She Explores · host Gale Straub

For Anna Brones, the point of creating is rarely the end result - it's all about the satisfying act of doing. While a lot of us are missing the time we normally spend outside, Anna reassures us that there's inspiration to be found with the materials we have on hand. In this episode, we talk with Anna about the Creative Fuel Challenge she started for anyone who wants to join in and Women's Wisdom Project. The latter is the culmination of two years of work and celebrates the wisdom of inspirational women through beautiful, deceptively simple papercut portraits. These women are environmentalists, artists, writers, advocates, and more.Featured in this episode: Anna BronesHosted & Produced by Gale StraubA production of Ravel MediaSponsored by Danner & Appalachian Gear CompanyJoin the She Explores Podcast community on FacebookIn this episode, you'll hear:Why creativity is so important in the age of COVID-19About Anna's Creative Fuel challenge - creative prompts sent to your inbox that anyone can do to step outside of their daily routineHow Anna is experiencing the outdoors, very close to homeAnna's Women's Wisdom Project: 100 paper cuts of inspiring womenWhy quotes need contextWhat Anna learned from taking on such a big creative challengeVisit She-Explores.com & Follow Us on InstagramResourcesAnna Brones: Website & InstagramCreative Fuel ChallengeAnna's booksWomen's Wisdom Project: Vashon Center for the ArtsCheryl Strayed on She ExploresLearn a bit About Word Choice: Spaz and othersShe Explores Landing PageRavel MediaSponsors and Discount CodesDanner: Learn more about the Trail 2650 hiking shoe at Danner.com.Appalachian Gear Company: Learn more about the All-Paca Fleece Hoodie.
