In this episode, Allen sits down with Wendy and Derek Carrick-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.
