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.

Why Beauty is Necessary | Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever been made to feel like the beauty you create is frivolous? I would argue it's just the opposite - that beauty is utterly necessary. Your beauty is necessary.
My husband, Mak, joins me again this week as it turns out we had so much more we wanted to say about this topic!
We talk about the importance of finding what lights you up, regardless of trends, and how to incorporate small bits of beauty in your everyday life. If you find something to be beautiful, no matter how small or simple, it matters. It’s a clue to who you are and the world needs it. The global pandemic is proof of this and we discuss why!
I hope you find some encouragement for your creative soul today.
