Make Some Noise is not a mental health podcast. It’s also not an art podcast. Make Some Noise is not a prescription for happiness. Make Some Noise is conversations about prioritising creative expression as a tool for self actualisation.
Creative expression is an important part of staying connected to yourself and expressing your emotions in healthy ways. In times gone by creativity was an integral part of community life: we sang, we danced and we created (weaving baskets, creating costumes, etc) and these days it’s an after thought. Something we do if and when we finish everything else on our to-do lists.
Karly Nimmo is setting out to change that. She wants to bring what is seen as ‘frivolous’ and ‘indulgent’ to the forefront. Make it a priority. In Make Some Noise Karly explores whether there are legit links between how we live today and the epidemic levels of mental health issues we are currently experiencing.

Today, on Make Some Noise, we meet Kim Werker, a writer and editor. She is the author of half a dozen crochet books and Make It Mighty Ugly, a guide to vanquishing creative demons.
In this episode, Kim and Karly chat about the ways to realize that there are no rules in creativity other than those rules that you've set up for yourself. They talk about fear, expectations and the fact that art is anything that you create no matter what majority of people would think about it.
2:09 - An introduction to Kim and reasons why she started to express her creativity
7:20 - Mighty Ugly and what was the story behind the project
23:10 - Kim and Karly talk about the fact that art does not have to avoid the ugly side
30:19 - The way that lack of expectations to create something beautiful is giving you more freedom to express your creativity
37:30 - Kim and Karly chat on how fear shouldn't stop people from trying to create anything
46:35 - "The value of a creation is the value that you experience creating"
