Living and working creatively with author Laura Benn
Do you consider yourself a creative person?
Do you like the idea of living and working creatively but need help knowing where to begin?
Would you like to have more playfulness and presence sprinkled throughout your day?
Well, I have good news for you. Today’s podcast is about creativity, specifically creative living and creative working.
Chatting with author Laura Benn in this episode has inspired me to have more intention in the pockets of my day and create little rituals for the sake of more joy and play in my day.
Laura and I chat about:
- What exactly living and working creativity is
- How everyone is creative
- The misconception that being creative means being artistic. It doesn’t
- A mindset shift to start noticing the awe in our daily lives and create creativity in the mundane moments of our lives
- The connection of creative living to joy and play
- How we can support our kids to foster their curiosity and creativity, even in environments where these can be stifled
- Doable ways that we can bring more creativity into our work, everyday lives and parenting
