Stepping Off Now: Lessons in the Art and Craft of Creativity
Stepping Off Now is a podcast about how to live your creative best life. I’m Kendra, a social scientist and writer. I spent decades feeling creatively unfulfilled while I pursued conventional life goals, culminating in severe burnout that took years to recover from. This podcast chronicles my journey in real time as I find my way home to my essential creative self. I discuss topics like harnessing the intuitive creative process, using creativity to manage mental health, and sorting through all the external pressures and expectations to figure out what YOU really want. My hope is that you’ll find inspiration and solace here. You are not alone, and you are stronger and wiser than you know! You can find out more by visiting my website, kendrapatterson.com.

A message for everybody

This is a great and wonderful podcast. I’ve been following it since it’s inception, and I always look forward to a weekly episode. I am not a writer, I consider myself an amateur theater artist, but I am a finance manager, and I try to do the best with my life and with the resources I can get. Kendra has a sweet and smooth style, which she uses to provide helpful hints and suggestions about every day life situations, which apply to everyone. Not only to creative people but people like me who are not on the creative side but who are tied up with conventional processes. Kendra’s valuable insights come from her own experiences as well as research done in different fields. She’s very practical and her messages has been very inspirational to me. Her suggestions to dealing with burnout are fantastic and very applicable. Thanks to her, I found out that I am a creative person after all and she has helped me discover my hidden, artistic passion for theater. I truly appreciate Kendra’s humility, frankness, wisdom, and honesty that she shares with her listeners in order to help us walk through this life.
An inspirational, relatable, grounding voice

Stepping off now has become a routine listen for me as a creative freelancer. Kendra’s perspective is often just what I need exactly when I need it to keep going. She’s encouraging, thoughtful and gives voice to many of the issues creatives face: how to take feedback, reclaiming “being sensitive” as a positive trait, how to stay motivated in creative practice. Great for HSPs and INFPs.
A gift

Kendra’s podcast is a gift in so many ways. Her professional skills in research shine through in the presentation of what she shares with her listeners. As a creative, I might not have called myself that a few years ago, alongside my quiet nature and tendency to feel a bit of a misfit in the world that I live in, I feel that I have found a kindred spirit in Kendra’s voice. She stands strongly by her beliefs and has an honesty about how she sees and experiences the world. I highly recommend Stepping Off Now.
