Ep. 102: How to Find Your Creativity & Reclaim Your Identity | Pia Leichter

Episode 102: Creativity isn’t just for the chosen few—it’s for all of us.


In this episode of The Lost & Found Podcast, Amanda sits down with Pia Mailhot-Leichter—author of Welcome to the Creative Club, creative mentor, and founder of Kollektiv Studio. Pia’s story is one of reinvention: from advertising creative director to author and coach, where she learned to embrace her own voice after seasons of loss and transformation.


Through Kollektiv Studio, Pia partners with visionaries ready to build their dream, their brand, their business. She works with founders, leaders, and creatives with a rebellious spirit, visionary tendencies, and a deep-seated desire to make an impact. Through creative partnership, from storytelling to coaching, she helps her clients bring wild visions and ventures into the world.


In this episode, Pia reminds us that the outcome isn't just what you create—it's who you become in the process. Together, we explore:

  • Why creativity is a lifeline during identity loss, grief,and change
  • How to move beyond perfectionism, people-pleasing, and“societal shoulds”
  • The myth that you need trauma or pain to be an artist
  • Why storytelling and creativity are essential to reclaiming your voice
  • How to embrace identity shifts and become the creative director of your own life


If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, silenced by fear, or doubtful that your story matters—this conversation will remind you that your creativity is your birthright.
