    What do you do when life is standing between you and your creative dream?

    In this powerful interview, we sit down with Melissa Vargas, a multi-talented communicator, strategist, writer, and poet, who shares her inspiring journey of faith, resilience, and creative growth.

    Melissa is a repeat guest, who opens up about her recent move to Colombia, the loss of her father, and the unexpected twists in her career path. Through her candid reflections, we explore:

    • How embracing our God-given identity can lead to fewer bumps in the road

    • Embrace both joy and sorrow as part of the creative journey
    • Focus on your relationship with God rather than seeking specific outcomes
    • Recognize your unique gifts and use them to serve others
    • Build a supportive community to navigate the ups and downs of creative life

    Melissa's story reminds us that our creative calling is not just about producing art, but about allowing God to work through us in unexpected ways. Whether you're facing a career transition, personal loss, or creative block, this conversation will inspire you to trust the process and keep moving forward.
