   Creativity in Motion with Kate Schelter

   Episode #131. In this episode, I'm joined by artist, author, and creative director Kate Schelter—whose watercolor work, brand vision, and book Classic Style: Hand It Down, Dress It Up, Wear It Out have inspired so many to create on their own terms. Kate shares how curiosity—not certainty—has guided her from the fashion world to art and design, and why taking small, honest actions can transform the way you see yourself and your work. She offers a refreshing reminder that creativity isn't about waiting for inspiration—it's about what you do next. If you've been feeling that pull to create or try something new, this conversation is the reminder you need to begin—one small step at a time.
