In this first episode for Creativity Conversations, my guest is Jackie Schomburg.
Jackie is a Chicago-area abstract artist, educator, and creator of Brave Art & Creative Wellness with a YouTube channel with over 27,000 subscribers.
Her belief: we were born to create things. As she shares in our conversation, art doesn’t just express who you are. It reminds you who you are.
In this episode, we talk about what creativity actually is — beyond art, beyond talent, beyond getting it right. This notion of “I’m not creative” comes up all the time…and it’s just not true.
We get into:
- why we lose our sense of creativity in the first place
- what happens when you let yourself just make something
- how quickly your energy can shift
- and why this has nothing to do with being “good

Because you can’t pour from an empty cup — and making something tangible with your hands, even badly, even for five minutes, is one of the fastest ways to refill it.
