Join me for creative rabbit holes, unexpected discoveries, and ideas waiting to be explored. (free or paid) *NOTE - There was a little issue with Francine’s audio in the beginning of our chat but it does clear up about 4 minutes in. I didn’t want to cut any of her inspirational words off, so I left it. A conversation about what shifts when we begin to pay attention to the spaces we create in. We explore the relationship between environment, energy, and creative life, and how order can become something supportive rather than restrictive. Connect with Francine: Instagram and Threads: @organiseedcreativebrain About Francine: Francine, aka the Organized Creative Brain, is a crafter, creative, and bookworm who lives in France with her husband and teenage son. When her nose isn't stuck in a book, she can be found knitting, crocheting, painting, and working on paper crafts. A naturally untidy person, she has found ways to be organized, and make time for reading and crafts. She can't live without coffee, flowers, or notebooks, and is firmly obsessed with Hamilton, the Musical. Francine Clouden Everything I write, record, and create grows from the same ideas explored in my book, The Key to Creativity. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re creative, or wanted to find and trust your own interests a little more, I wrote it for you.
