What if the key to your next creative chapter isn't a strategy, or a career hack - but instead opening yourself up to a new relationship?

In this episode, Allen sits down with Wendy and Derek Hadinger, the husband-and-wife duo behind the Create A Way Today Podcast, for a conversation about what happens when creators give each other permission to explore their gifts in their God-given design!

Wendy is an author, illustrator, book publisher and caricature artist with 30 years in the business. Her husband Derek is a registered nurse, musician, and author. Outside his medical profession, he builds and wires custom instruments, records music, and recently finished writing a nearly 400-page memoir. Together they run Create-A-Way Publishing and their podcast among many other creative pursuits.

Their story isn't only about being married to your perfect creative match. It's about what becomes possible when you let another creator see the whole picture of who you are. If you've ever felt misaligned or out - of -place with your creative gifts, this episode will show you that there is a place for your creative gift when you connect with the right people.

In this episode, we explore:

• What it looks like to build the kind of partnership where your gifts compliment each other
• How music and creativity can open the door to healing and family restoration
• How a creative gift can stay hidden until someone you trust names it out loud
• Why openness, not talent alone, tends to be what God uses to move you forward
