In this episode, we’re joined by Stacey McKenna—a dedicated mother, teacher, and self-taught artist who believes that creativity is essential for personal well-being. Despite having no formal arts education, Stacey has cultivated her own art practice and is really interested in looking at ways that we can make the arts accessible and support everyone to engage with their creativity, regardless of background or experience. Stacey shares her journey of establishing and maintaining a regular creative practice amidst the demands of work and family life. We discuss the challenges she faced in finding time and space for art, and the strategies she uses to keep her practice alive and evolving. Stacey also delves into her vision for how workplaces and educational institutions can better support individuals in expressing their creativity and integrating it into their everyday lives. Whether you're a working mother, an aspiring artist, or anyone who wants to make more room for creativity, this conversation will inspire you to start building your own artful routine. 🧠 Join our Creative Minds Lab Facebook group to share and grow your creative practice:   / creative.minds.lab   📢 Interested in being our next guest?
