Creative Force: A podcast with exceptional women

When COVID 19 moved our world’s inside, perceptions about where we live and work changed forever.

The luxury of online connections seeded the evolution of this podcast exposing me to a global community of incredible women – artists, writers, cultural activists, and Indigenous leaders.

I asked them "What are the creative forces that drive you?" Every single one of them said “Where I live”.

From the forests of Ireland, a tiny village in Scotland, the mountains, vast farming plains and lush sub-tropical north in Australia. For these women landscape – sea, sky, rock and river is the muse that inspires them to make their mark on the world.

I can't wait for you to meet them.
