Clearly Creative

Building on my personal experience of deleting Instagram, this episode moves past productivity hacks to focus on  Nervous System Regulation . I share how creating deliberate "speed bumps", like the Analog Bridge and the Two-Room Rule, is the only way to protect your dopamine and reclaim the mental sanctuary needed for deep, soulful work.

Explore the surprising link between ADHD and creative achievement as we reframe distractibility as a powerhouse for divergent thinking. Featuring insights from experts like Dr. Ned Hallowell and Jessica McCabe, this episode dives into the science of "brain drain" and offers a grounded approach to protecting your focus and finding your true creative flow.

As creatives, we are constantly learning new skills and evolving our craft. In this episode, I explore what upskilling really looks like in the age of generative artificial intelligence, and how curiosity, intention, and human judgment still matter more than any tool.

I wanted to share a quick update and let you know that Season 2 of  Clearly Creative  will now officially launch in January 2026. After a recent loss in my family, I’m taking a little extra time to pause, reflect, and be with loved ones.

When we talk about a creative voice, it might sound like this abstract, mystical concept but let’s ground it in something tangible. Your creative voice is the unique blend of perspective, style, and intention that comes through in your work. It’s the thing that makes your art, your designs, your writing, or whatever you create unmistakably yours.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or like you’re taking one step forward and two steps back, this episode is for you
