Creativity and inspiration","description":"One of the most powerful clich\u00e9s about creativity is that of inspiration being an integral part of the creative process. While we\u2019ve established in this podcast that creativity is not just for artists, writers, or craftspeople, that we are all born inherently creative, what of inspiration? Can we be creative without being inspired? Is our creative output less likely to be valuable or meaningful without inspiration? And what do we actually mean by it? ABOUT THE CREATIVITY FOR ALL PODCAST A maths teacher can be creative. So can a financial adviser, a community builder, and a yoga teacher. Not to mention a speed painter, a potter, or an actor! Creativity is everywhere and I love nothing more than to explore it in The Creativity for All Podcast, either by focusing on a theme \u2013 such as perfectionism, feeding your creative brain, or the pressure to be creative \u2013 in my solo episodes, or through my conversations with all manner of creative people. I want to challenge the perception of creativity and, in the process, debunk many myths attached to it: it's painful, for artists and the chosen few, etc. My guests and I are keen to zoom in and dissect the origin of an idea, the impulse that makes us engage with our own creativity, with the hope that it will inspire listeners to get creative too.
