Why? Running a top 5% podcast (yes, our humble little podcast is in the top 5% in the world) comes with an admin and editing load that’s getting heavy, and they need help. They're asking listeners to join their Patreon to help hire support and keep the show ad-free. In return, patrons get to join monthly \"Created Creative Conversations\" for community and coaching. They explore why people pay to belong to communities like NPR, churches, and yoga studios, while acknowledging how weird it feels to ask for support for less tangible creative work. But here's the core message: Creative projects are allowed to change. Rigid rules choke creativity, and \"the magic is in the pivot\"—as long as you communicate openly instead of just quitting. Dawn and Ruth model this beautifully, sharing life updates that show them both pivoting: funerals and sermon writing, painting projects, planning for Spain, and decluttering goals. This episode is for anyone who's felt guilty about changing direction on a creative project, or who thinks pivoting means failure. It doesn't. Sometimes the magic happens precisely when you're brave enough to adjust course and keep going, don't cha know. Because the opposite of quitting isn't sticking rigidly to the original plan—it's staying curious enough to let your project evolve.
