I love all the angles you look at creativity with. I hunger for conversation about creativity, making, connection. Thank you for providing thoughtful episodes I can chew on.

Hi, Kate! I’m a long-time listener and only now just getting around to writing a review. Your show is in my top list and I always enjoy it. I just have to share with you that I tried Tammy’s ‘sign’ request. I asked to see a dragonfly on Sunday, and on Tuesday afternoon at my hairdresser, a candleholder covered in dragonflies immediately caught my eye! I laughed to myself and thanked my guides. I also just received Tammy’s book in the mail and can’t wait to read it. Thank you for all you do, Kate. You really make a difference in the world!

For anyone who is looking to add more creativity and joy to their life, this podcast is a must listen. I just love the way that Kate explores the topic of creativity. Her guests are amazing. I've learned so much from just listening in to these conversations.

Wonderful show today

I will be busy writing letters of gratitude today! The ripple your words sent my way this morning will hopefully create a wave of creativity within me bursting to be sent out into the world.,.,.,.,.,.,,,,🌊

Tears of joy and gratitude after listening to your latest episode with Juliette Crane! I follow Juliette on IG (love her creative expression!) and while exploring on her site, it led me to your podcast. I will happily listen to the other episodes and look forward to future ones. Thank you again for this gift today!

I can’t believe I’ve just now found your podcast! Now binge-listening while I work on my new art space. Love your content and how you are bringing creatives together! I hear so many things that resonate with me. My new favorite podcast! Much love❤️

It will remind you that through creativity you can connect to something magical beyond yourself! Highly recommend 😊

Do you ever feel that creative pull to do something but not sure it will lead to anything? Well do it anyway. Maybe it is what you are missing in your life. Kate will inspire you while interview ing amazing creatives and make you feel anything is possible when you listen to that voice inside you. Because we all have the potential to be creative. Thanks Kate! I so enjoy your podcast.

I came across your podcast when Ange Miller shared your latest with her. Anyway I have binge listening ever since and I just love your show! Thank you so much for sharing your time, resources, and heart with us. You are life changing ♥️I appreciate you so much!

I just found your podcast...at the end of the show i was in tears. Nourishment has been received...thank you, Kate and Lynne. Ten stars!!!

Whenever I need a lift in my day, a boost to my energy level or a kind word for my heart, Kate is there with uplifting words and interesting, creative and supportive interviews. I listen as often as I can, going back to previous posts and interviews to absorb as much as I can into my own creative practice. Thank you, Kate. You’re a wonder!

I stumbled upon this podcast when Kate was interviewed on another podcast I listen to. Her voice is so calming and the conversations with the artists are inspiring and encouraging and really wonderful to listen to on the way home. The conversations make driving in traffic bearable. Thank you for doing what you do Kate!

Kate, Absolutely love your podcast. Your beautiful soul and calming demeanor encourages everyone to embrace a creative life that comes from deep within. Creating from the heart is so beautiful. Thank you making a difference in the world. 🥰🥰 Angeli

So glad that I found Kate Shepherd and her podcast. She is so encouraging and supportive to artists. Her interview skill is amazing and I really enjoy listening to her podcasts. I have gone back and listened to many episodes and they bring so much value to me as an emerging artist. Thank you Kate.

I recently found this podcast and was so pleased to discover that it was full of encouragement, gentleness, inspiration, and compassion. All the right things, for any time of day. The host is an expert curator of fine individuals who will inspire any listener with their stories. The conversations are delightful. So glad to have found this podcast.

fantastic guests and host aSks goid q’s!!!

I’m a new listener and have quickly become a big fan of Kate’s interview style along with her warm and soothing style as she coaxes insightful stories from her guests. Artists and creatives of all types should pull up a chair or grab a brush and listen while you relax or work. I promise you will be a fan, too!

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. I especially enjoyed this last episode with Tracy Mazeur was inspiring and heartwarming. I listened to the episode on my way home from work and it’s set up so I can listen to it tomorrow on my way in. Kate, I love how calm and soothing your voice is and the questions you ask are thought provoking; they help us all to look deep inside. Thank you for this episode and for introducing me to Tracy and treeshavefeelings.

I have found my tribe with Kate and her guests in a world where these people aren’t easy to find! I resonate with every single episode and get so much from this podcast. Thank you so much, Kate for sharing your heart with fellow artists. I can’t say enough good things about the Creative Genius podcast and I’m so thankful you felt the need to create this platform! Sending Love and hugs your way. Connie Wyatt

I was grabbed immediately especially by the name of the podcast! I listen to many podcasts from political to quilting/fibre arts and this is the best ever! Kate has a very pleasant voice, she asked the questions and let the artist answer the questions which seems difficult for many interviewers! The artists selected were interesting and were able to keep my interest! I highly recommend this podcast! I shared it on my FB page and with several artists I know!!!

Thank you for this podcast, Kate. Every episode is inspiring, for my own creative endeavors as well as for living more authentically overall. Your insightful questions and outstanding guests make for quality listening. I am so grateful to you. (P.S. I also love my fern earrings from lovemorningmoon.com !)

I just discovered this podcast and I love it! Kate is so open, honest, kind and thoughtful and she has really wonderful guests. This is the perfect podcast to listen to while I’m in my studio and need encouragement and inspiration. 🥰

I was listening to the interview with Tracy Verdugo (go download her classes!) and had to stop and write a review. Kate, your podcast is such a delight and inspiration to me in my creative journey. It constantly reminds me that I’m on the right path and doing exactly what I was born to do. I will always be thankful to Amanda Evanston for bringing me to you! Thank you SO much Kate!!

Dr. Cheryl takes really complex topics and makes them really understandable. Focusing on creativity in ourselves, our children and our larger world is more important now than ever. I believe artists heal the world and we need to do our best to heal ourselves too! Thank you for this conversation!

I loved the episode with Dr. Cheryl Arutt!! I am an attorney, and she made sense of my creative clients’ thought patterns. It is so true that the subconscious can and does create from the trauma it has experienced or has an intuition from a past generation or heritage that we don’t see and yet it guides us in creating or organicly gravitates towards that subconscious experience/ heritage. Looking forward to more!! A must subscribe podcast if you have are creative or have creative people around you.

I love how Kate inspires us to reach deep into ourselves to pull out the creativity that is lurking within us all

Kate Shepard’s beautiful and inspiring podcast is a love letter to creatives (and those who are, but don’t yet know it!). Kate’s warmth, insight and intuitive understanding of just what unlocks creativity makes it easy to see why The Creative Genius is such a popular podcast. The wold needs this ray of sunshine. Give it a listen and you’ll be hooked!

This is a great podcast for everyone! I am an artist and love listening to other creatives talk about creating. I work/create from home and it can get lonely at times. Kate and her guests make me feel like i belong to a group of creatives out in the world and so much more connected! Thanks for sharing what a creative life is about and how everyone really is creative!

I just listened to the episode with Lori Siebert. She has inspired me to just do it (one of her billboards she would do to inspire). And her explanation of the steps to a piece-child, teenager, etc! Kate asks wonderful questions and has a great podcast!

I hear and see myself with the words you share along with each one of your quests…I must listen each day…just to feel settled.

I was recently introduced to this podcast by a lovely customer at a local art fair in Anacortes, WA. She was in my little 10x10’ booth looking at my art. I shared that I had no idea I could draw until three years ago (at the age of 55) and admitted that finding the confidence to call myself an “artist” had been one my biggest hurdles. She explained that she had long ago put her artist self away ~ then she discovered THE CREATIVE GENIUS podcast. Now she is painting. She showed me her amazing work on her phone. I, too, began listening to Kate’s podcast. I feel like I’ve found a podcast home where I can sink into the content and learn that I am in no way alone. I often listen on walks and realize I need my notepad with me! So many thoughts I need on sticky notes around my studio! Kate is a fantastic interviewer. It’s clear she takes great care with the content and joy she is putting into the world. Her voice is calming, her questions and thoughts are incredibly relevant, and her guests bring so much to the creative party. I’m grateful to my customer for sharing this gem of a podcast.

I was withholding my creative person inside for so many years. Afraid to let it show. It took a lot of bravery to let me be free to experiment and try new things and to admit I was an artist. Thank you for your show. It has helped me see that I am not alone.

Hi there, I absolutely LOVED your convo with Margo on Windowsill Chats … you touched my soul Thank you for being you!

The conversations in this podcast never fail to inspire, encourage, and teach.I am so grateful to my former professor of art who recommended this podcast to me as an aspiring painter. Every episode is amazing.

Great way to spend 50 minutes. I listen while I work on my craft. I’ve heard many unique perspectives about creativity during this podcast I’ve had to stop, playback and write them down. I don’t want to forget a single detail. Kate and her artistic friends have put into words definitions of a creative life that I have never been able to explain until now. Thank you!

One of my favorite podcasts. I learn about many artists and buy books they have written. Lots of inspiration. Feels like my clan. Always feel great after listening.

Thanks for a great addition to my podcast library! Can’t wait to listen to more!

I feel like I’ve found my sisterhood listening to these women. It’s amazing to me that I can hear my own story in every conversation. I really had no idea how many people understand and share what I feel!! Thank you for the beautiful magic ❤️

Kate is such a wonderful interviewer! She is thorough, thoughtful and brings out emotions that as an artist, are part of what we do. Her interview with Lynn Whipple had me nodding my head vigorously, crying and laughing. Best interview ever!!

I recently found your podcast and it’s one of my favorites!

Kate has a deep love of creativity and her mission is to remind us all, of the power of our own creative acts. With wonderful guests, Kate’s conversations make you lean in and consider your own creative possibilities. And she has the most lovely voice!! Enjoy!

I started painting a mural on my studio wall this week and binge listened to nearly all the episodes of this podcast as I painted. What an absolutely beautiful sentiment Kate has felt and followed in creating this. It is a work straight from her heart to ours and a gift. I’ve had so many “ah ha!” moments while listening to her guests share their wisdom and inspiration. It brought joy to my heart and my painting as I listened.

This podcast is a place for your mind and spirit to land safely and tap into all the things that bring you JOY. It’s like a beacon of light calling you back to your creative self. Kate’s interview style and intuitive ability to capture what you need in the moment is a gift. We need more of this kind of honesty in our lives, guiding us and helping us all tap inside! Thank you Kate!

This is a beautiful warm hug of a podcast! I absolutely adore her kind and soothing voice! The guests and topics are some of my new sheros! Can’t rave enough about it!!

Love listening this show, its such an uplifting resource! Often I find that the topics are super relatable and concurrent with whatever I’m working on. The conversations are so easy to relate to and makes me feel supported. Often find myself going back to listen to topics again!

Ok. I just listened to the first podcast. 🎉🎉🎉God is truly up to something beautiful. It felt like the seeds of my soul were being watered 🌱 Thank you so much Kate ... for stepping into your calling. Looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Absolutely love the concept, as well as the message behind this podcast! I couldn’t agree with kate more. Loving the episodes I’ve listened to so far and can’t wait to dive into more!

I love this podcast just so much … Kate Shepherd is gracious, insightful, inspirational, AND regular! Like you just want to be her friend after listening to her converse with any one of her interesting and delightful guests. I also live the premise of the podcast … maybe what really IS making this world such a stressful place because people are not paying attention to the whisper inside their soul that says ‘Please create … now.’ Do yourself a favor and take a listen … you will be so glad that you did!

Kate is an amazing artist and an incredible and amazing woman.. I first want to thank her for bringing to every listener The Creative Genius podcast. I have listened to every interview a couple of times and have been listening to her interview with Jane Dunnewold again and again.. it so resonates with me and my feelings and my dreams. This helps me to build more confidence in myself while pursuing my creative endeavors.. and I too believe that there is a creative hidden within every person and Kate’s podcast helps me too spread the thoughts by sharing it with everyone I know. Thank you Kate ❤️ Sarita
