The Unbound Creative
A podcast for creatives who refuse to be boxed in.
Hosted by husband-and-wife duo Mak and Valerie McKeehan, The Unbound Creative is where creativity meets rebellion. This isn't just another "how-to" podcast—it's a rallying cry for artists, entrepreneurs, and dreamers who are tired of playing by the rules.
Through candid conversations, personal stories, and deep dives into the mindset and mechanics of creative living, Mak and Valerie challenge the narratives that keep creatives stuck. Whether you're an artist, writer, musician, business owner, or just someone who knows there’s more inside you waiting to break free, this podcast will give you the tools, inspiration, and courage to step into your fullest creative potential.
No more waiting for permission. No more playing small. It’s time to unleash your creativity—boldly, unapologetically, and unbound.
Follow now and join the movement.

I was sitting down to the mic fearful and feeling all the usual doubts spinning through my mind…
“What if I sound dumb?”
“I’m not good enough.”
“Maybe this was a bad idea.”
But then it occurred to me, I’ve been saying things like this to myself for years and the only thing staying comfortable led to was feeling stuck!
Maybe you’re feeling stuck too.
“I’m not ready. This isn’t a good time. I don’t have time to do this.”
Sound familiar?
I don’t believe the time is really our problem. Let’s break through these limiting beliefs together!
Grab your favorite mug and a cozy warm drink. Come have a seat at my table today. I have some encouragement for you.
