EP 23 The Power of Reclaiming Your Creativity After 60

“I give writers permission to create literary misdemeanors.”

In this episode author and founder of Writing from the Top of Your Head, Nina Hart, joins us to share her inspiring journey of reclaiming her creativity and finding her true voice as a writer.

Nina is passionate about helping writers break free from the societal pressures and perfectionist standards that often stifle their creativity.

Throughout the episode, Nina discusses her own struggles with writing and how she discovered the power of breaking the rules and embracing her unique style.

Her award-winning book, "Somewhere in a Town You Never Knew Existed Somewhere," serves as a testament to the success that can come from letting go of literary conventions and allowing oneself to explore and create freely.

As a Kaizen muse creativity coach, Nina shares valuable insights on how to cultivate a process-oriented approach to writing, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and deadlines while maintaining a sense of joy and playfulness in the creative process. 

She also addresses the issue of ageism in the writing community and encourages listeners to overcome these limitations, sharing examples of older individuals who have found fulfillment and success in their writing.

Nina offers a variety of resources for those looking to tap into their creativity, including workshops, coaching, and her online program, "Writing from the Top of Your Head." 

She also provides practical tips, such as using prompts to evoke imagery and sensory experiences and suggests joining a writing group to share personal stories in a supportive environment.
