Brave creative Human:
Embrace failure, reframe imposter syndrome, and be unapologetically you
Coming Soon! September 28, 2025
You are a brave creative human.
Period.
The world needs your ideas—your creative energy and unique perspective—because only you can make them a reality.
You have immense value right here, right now. Not someday when you learn a new language, earn a degree, paint a masterpiece, or write a chart-topping song—but today, exactly as you are.
Creative confidence isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about shifting your perspective so that you’re not the one holding yourself back. Through a collection of thought-provoking stories and personal anecdotes brimming with optimism, creativity educator Diana Varma explores how you can discover your creative confidence right now, exactly as you are.
Let this be a reminder: You are brilliantly bold, wonderfully weird, and perfectly imperfect.
You are a brave creative human.
where creative work meets play.
There is nothing I love more than getting into a room full of new friends and facilitating serious play!
