Women are craving spaces that feel safe, creative, energizing, and real. In this episode, Stephanie Mitton sits down with Toronto DJ and content creator Elise Purdon to talk about Craft Rave, the surprising power of niche community, and what happens when women stop trying to fit the mold and start building something that fits them instead.
This episode covers:
- how Elise built a creative career across content creation, DJing, and music production
- why morning routines, writing, and quiet thinking can unlock creative clarity
- how Craft Rave came to life by combining house music, crafting, and community
- what women are telling Elise they need right now from events and social spaces
- the challenge of entering male-dominated industries without losing yourself
- how social media can help build community while also becoming a creative trap
- why boundaries with screens and space away from the internet matter so much
This conversation is a reminder that women do not have to shrink to belong. Sometimes the most powerful move is to create the room you were looking for all along.
