Episode 7
Monday, 27 July, 2026
What if creativity isn’t about painting, writing, or making beautiful things?What if creativity is our ability to remain open when we don’t know the answer?In this conversation, Kate sits down with Jennifer Hinton, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Carve Designs, to explore creativity as a human capacity rather than an artistic talent. Together they discuss why creativity requires vulnerability, how fear and perfectionism narrow our thinking, and why slowing down may be one of the most important practices for living a meaningful life.The conversation naturally turns toward motherhood, where uncertainty is constant and creativity becomes essential. Rather than seeing motherhood as something that diminishes creativity, Kate and Jennifer explore how it asks us to develop it in entirely new ways.In this episode, we discuss:Why everyone is born creative—even if they don’t think they are.The relationship between creativity, safety, and vulnerability.How perfectionism can limit curiosity and imagination.Why collaboration often produces our best ideas.The importance of slowing down and creating space for inspiration.Creativity beyond art: leadership, business, parenting, and everyday problem solving.Why play becomes uncomfortable for so many adults.How motherhood changes our relationship with creativity.The tension between structure and openness—and why we need both.Small ways to reconnect with creativity in everyday life.About Jennifer HintonJennifer Hinton is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Carve Designs, where she has spent more than two decades building a brand that celebrates adventure, authenticity, and thoughtful design.
