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.

What To Do When You Feel Lost
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Did you ever hear something and you don’t know exactly why, but you knew in that moment you were meant to hear it? That happened to me recently at an unexpected moment.
The tears instantly came.
It was an invitation back to myself after going through a period of feeling lost.
When you feel like you’ve lost yourself, I believe it’s often because you’re not allowing your awareness to go to those places in your soul. There’s something that feels “off limits” and you suppress it. You’ve become used to doing this to the point you forgot who you are. And perhaps for a multitude of reasons… fear of what others might think, the reality of your current situation, trying to be practical.
But what if you would allow yourself to play in the possibility without judgment, without needing to “figure it out”? What if you gave yourself permission to feel your way to the answers within yourself because the answers are there? What would it look like to dream and slowly find your way back?
If you are feeling lost in your creativity, this episode (love letter) is for you.
