Episode 145: Why Creativity Isn’t Optional Anymore—for Therapists, Helpers, and Healers

Have you ever felt stuck in your work?

Like you’re helping others but losing connection with yourself?

You’re not alone.

Many therapists, psychologists, and helpers reach a point where something feels off. You love helping people. But deep down, you want something more. You know you’re wired to help in ways you can’t within the current models of what a therapist does. You want to write. Build something. Start a podcast. Host a retreat. Lead in a new way.

But the voice in your head says:

“You don’t have time for that.”
“You’re not creative enough.”
“What do you really have to contribute?”

Here’s the truth: Creativity isn’t a luxury. It’s not a bonus.

✨ It’s essential. ✨

And science backs this up.
