Follow Your Curiosity: You didn’t lose your creative spark. You were taught to leave it behind.

You didn’t lose your creative spark. You were taught to leave it behind.

Follow Your Curiosity is a podcast about creativity, curiosity, and what helps us remain fully human in a world that would often prefer us productive, predictable, and disconnected from ourselves.

I’m creativity expert Nancy Norbeck. I created the Restorative Creativity Framework™ and am the creator and host of Follow Your Curiosity.

Every other week, I have in-depth, unscripted conversations with creative people from all walks of life. We talk about how they found their way into their work, what shaped them, the detours they never expected, and what they’ve learned about living a creative life.

On alternating weeks, I share Reports from the Creative Closet: solo episodes about perfectionism, people-pleasing, creative disconnection, curiosity, agency, and what can happen when you stop trying to do adulthood correctly and start listening to yourself again. Some explore the ideas behind the Restorative Creativity Framework™, including its six interconnected areas of practice: Humanity, Integrity, Play, Reconnection, Presence, and Community.

You don’t need to be an artist, and you don’t need another project to complete perfectly. You only need a little curiosity about what might make you feel more like yourself.

Start wherever your curiosity takes you.
