In the age of endless scrolling, the antidote to overconsumption is creativity.

Dr. Jennifer Freed believes that when we spend less time consuming and more time creating, we reconnect to something essential: our vitality. A clinical psychologist and astrologer with over 40 years of experience, Jennifer combines psychology and spirituality to help people understand themselves more deeply and live more fully. Her client list includes everyone from celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow to teens in her nonprofit program AHA!, which supports emotional intelligence, empathy, and inclusion.

In this episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel sits down with Jennifer to explore how creativity, self-awareness, and collective action can help us navigate a world in flux. They discuss how to turn grief into imagination, why nostalgia can hold us back, and how astrology can serve as a “map” to our potential—not a prediction of our fate.

Jessi and Jennifer discuss:

  • Why creativity is the antidote to consumption

  • How grief and reinvention go hand in hand

  • The difference between astrology as prediction and astrology as self-understanding

  • What it means to find “immunity” from collective despair

  • Why spiritual bypassing keeps us stuck—and how to move through pain instead

  • The discipline of daily creation (even when you’re not “good” at it)

  • What Jennifer learned from writing her first novel and redefining success

  • Why our human longing for love, meaning, health, and purpose unites us all

Jennifer’s work bridges the head and the heart. Her message: less consumption, more creation. When we make something—however imperfect—we resist the pull of cynicism and reclaim our power to imagine a better future.
