Fiona Valentine is a teacher at heart and very creative. She believes all of us are creative but we don't always recognize it even though it's a very important part of who we are. At one point in her life, she pushed her own creativity aside because she did not believe it was important enough to spend time on it. Listen to her story of feeling stuck and how she overcame it and learned that creativity is not about talents, it's about skills. She tells us why being creative matters to us and how we can find where our creativity lies. Fiona also loves to dispel the myth of the "starving artist" and why it's just not true.
