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.

Creative Block or Burnout? The Real Reason Creativity Feels Hard
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you been telling yourself you're creatively blocked… when you're actually exhausted?
So many creative, sensitive, and intuitive women assume something is wrong when inspiration disappears. We push harder, buy another course, wait for motivation, or criticize ourselves for not creating enough. But what if your creativity isn't missing? What if it's simply communicating something you've been too busy to hear?
In this episode, we're exploring the difference between artist block and burnout—and why understanding that difference can completely change the way you care for yourself.
If you've been wondering why creating feels harder than it used to, this conversation may help you stop asking, "What's wrong with me?" and begin asking a much gentler question instead.
Listen in and discover what your creativity might be trying to tell you.
