About the show

Your Creative Midlife. With host Betsy Bush. I’m talking to people who are exploring the creative life post-career or as empty nesters:  painting, writing, making music, theater, and film making.  What about you?  Is this the time to write that book?  Return to arts you enjoyed as a kid or teen?  Curious to try something new?Here’s the thing:  It’s never too late to bring a creative practice into your life.  My guests talk about the satisfaction they find as they develop their new skills.  They also share the uncertainty and fear they felt when they started and the confidence they gained as they kept at it and their skills developed.  Even better:  their definition of success is their own.  Where do you want to go?  Dare to follow your muse.
