In this vibrant episode, Stephanie shares her wonderfully layered life as a ceramicist, performer, and philanthropy leader. From accidentally discovering ceramics to championing wildlife conservation at Taronga, she opens up about navigating creativity, boredom and how art can give voice to what often goes unheard.

We talk about Frumpus, absurdist theatre, working with major donors, and why embracing creative freedom is essential for real impact  whether on stage, in the studio, or saving endangered species.

Stephanie’s story is a powerful reminder that living creatively doesn’t have to mean choosing one path, it's about weaving your passions together to create something that resonates.

Let this episode inspire your own creative cross-pollination.

The Common Creative - But Never Ordinary A podcast series with Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith
The worlds of business, home and play are all starved of creativity.  From an early age, we’re taught how to analyse, critique and simplify but the tools for exploring, ideating and creating are assumed to be instinctive.  The Common Creative is all about bringing creativity back into everyday life - understanding the essence of creativity and making creativity a common as a loaf of bread and as well understood as a common language.
Hosts Paul Fairweather and Chris Meredith are both creative thought-leaders and have been bonded by a common passion for creating and sharing something new and inspiring every day. Paul paints a watercolour of the household object and posts the image on IG “@everythink”, Chris photographs the same beach each and every day and posts the image on IG “@thisisbalmoral”
By day, Paul Fairweather is a Brisbane-based, speaker, author,  mentor,  architect and artist. Chris Meredith is a Sydney-based, business coach, innovation consultant, and award-winning photo-artist.
Each podcast explores a different aspect of creativity. Recent topics have included: Energy, Time, Constraints and even the Impact of Covid-19 (why not?!) 
The podcasts are ideal for anyone looking to get out of a rut and deliver stuff that goes beyond the norm.
