Creative by Nature Podcast with Jess Madenford
Because creativity isn’t something you do — it’s who you are.
Creative by Nature blends self-expression, personal growth, and wellbeing in ways you can actually use. This podcast is for anyone ready to reconnect with their inner spark — whether you’re deeply creative or someone who has never considered themselves “creative.”
You’ll hear stories and guidance for those moments when you pause and catch yourself thinking things like: “I used to have such a big imagination as a kid — what happened?” Or when you wonder, “Can I really trust myself?” Maybe you notice how often you’ve been silencing yourself just to fit in, or feel that surge of inspiration but don’t know where to begin.
Each episode meets you in those moments of doubt and “where do I even start?” feelings, helping you reconnect with your spark, trust yourself, and take simple, practical steps to express who you really are. Whether you want to feel more confident in your creativity, explore your intuition, or bring a little more mindful, inspired living into your day, Creative by Nature offers practical guidance, gentle support, and ideas you can experiment with right away.

How a Conversation with Lee Harris Inspired the Creation of This Podcast
What happens when a single conversation confirms what your soul already knows?
In this episode, I share how a coaching conversation with Lee Harris inspired the creation of this podcast and helped me reconnect with my creative truth. What began as a business conversation became a powerful moment of reflection — revealing that my path is not fragmented, but deeply integrated.
We explore creativity as a soul-aligned life force, not a side hobby or artistic label. I open up about my evolving identity after more than two decades as a public school art teacher, how burnout became the doorway to healing, and why my tolerance for misaligned systems and expectations began to shift.
This episode is an honest reflection on being a multifaceted creative, healing the mother wound, and reclaiming creativity as our birthright — beyond boxes, job titles, or traditional definitions of art.
If you’re a creative, educator, healer, or sensitive soul who feels like you’re outgrowing old roles and craving deeper alignment, this episode will resonate.
