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.

What if I told you that according to NASA scientists, you are a creative genius?
It's true!
I learned about the most fascinating study and it changes everything - especially how we see ourselves. After conducting a study of 1600 4 and 5-year olds, scientists found that 98 percent scored at "creative genius" level.
98 percent!
But just ten years later, the same group of children were re-tested and the number plummeted to only two percent showcasing this creative ability.
Somewhere along the way, we let our imaginations become buried by life experiences, doubts, self-consciousness, fear of looking silly and the like. But that creative genius is still inside. It's intrinsic to who you are.
Today on the latest episode of The Dear Creative Soul Podcast, we're discussing how to get it back.
I would love it if you would give it a listen and share it with a creative soul who needs some encouragement today!
