Most of us were handed a very narrow definition of creativity early in life — and a lot of extraordinarily creative women ended up believing it didn't apply to them.

It does. It always did.

Creativity isn't a talent reserved for artists and musicians. It's a practice of attention. And the clues are already everywhere around you — in the problems you solve, the things you rearrange, the moments that catch your eye when everything else blurs past.

You've been noticing all along. You just didn't know that counted.

Every woman at our table said "I'm not creative" first. Every single one. And then something shifted — not because they found talent they didn't have, but because they finally found a room that believed in them before they believed in themselves. That room exists. And there's a seat in it for you.
