What if your next great idea is already there, just waiting for you to stop trying so hard?

In this solo episode, I share real-time stories from my own life and work that point to a powerful truth: creativity isn’t something you chase or force, it’s something you listen to. Whether you’re navigating the unknown, in the middle of a creative project, or leading a team through challenge or change, this conversation is an invitation to loosen the grip and trust what’s already alive within you.

I talk about the difference between reactivity and receptivity, how I got a 4:30AM creative nudge from my TV (yes, really), and what happened when a leadership team dropped their urgency and made space for something new to emerge.

Inside this episode:

  • Why trying harder often takes us further from insight
  • The role of internal spaciousness in creative breakthroughs
  • How everyday moments hold surprising flashes of clarity
  • An invitation to let go and let creative intelligence move through you

This one’s for the makers, leaders, creators, and anyone ready to follow their creative nudges and see what’s waiting just beyond the effort.

SHOW NOTES
