EPISODE RELEASE: Holding the Inner Flame: On Creativity
with Joanne Foster and Patrice Vecchione
In a time of uncertainly, instability, and rapid change, many people turn to their creative pursuits for comfort or inspiration. Whether creativity serves as an escape or a way to dive deeper, we all have the ability to be creative and benefit from practicing it. In this interview with Dr. Joanne Foster, who researches and writes about creativity in education, and Patrice Vecchione, who teaches and practices creativity in her writing and visual art, we address creativity head-on: What is it? What inspires it? What hobbles it? What can we use it for?
Joanne and Patrice, interviewed separately, address the same questions from their perspectives as researcher, teacher, writer, artist, child, adult, and older adult. Listen in and spark your creativity!

In this interview, we discuss Sharon Sewell-Fairman’s path and the work she now does as CEO of nonprofit Women Creating Change. We talk about the ways that women can become engaged in their communities, and the ways we can support each other. Finally, we talk about the current political climate, which threatens to take away women’s voices. But that, Sharon says, will not happen if we keep supporting each other. Join us!
