Humanity is glitching. And it can all be traced back to a series of limiting beliefs we hold around creativity; what it is, what it has to look like, and who has it in them (or doesn't). I speak to artists, actors, award winning musicians, TV producers, comedians, creative psychologists, writers (including a New York Times bestselling author) and even an Oscar nominated film director about creativity, the creative process, limiting beliefs that keep us stuck AND the magic that can happen when we relearn how to listen to our hearts. Creative Genius is a love letter to the creativity that lives inside ALL of us - through these conversations, I am on a mission to help as many people as I can to remember that it is in all of us, so we can stop glitching.
