What if curiosity is your greatest creative advantage?
Can play really change the way we think, connect, and create?
In this episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, I’m sitting down with Dr. Kate Raynes-Goldie, a PhD in Internet Studies, cultural anthropologist, certified LEGO Serious Play facilitator, innovation columnist, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity.
Together, we explore what happens when you stop trying to fit in and start building a life that fits you.
This isn’t just a conversation about creativity.
It’s about rediscovering curiosity, reframing focus, and learning to lead from your wiring instead of against it.
Together, we talk through:
➡️ How curiosity can be a superpower, especially for neurodivergent minds
➡️ Why LEGO Serious Play transforms the way teams connect and innovate
➡️ The truth about ADHD, self-acceptance, and embracing your wiring
➡️ What adults can learn from play and why it matters for creativity and confidence
➡️ How curiosity fuels better leadership, deeper connection, and more meaningful work
➡️ This week’s Petite Practice®: one question, one spark, one step toward joy
Here’s the reminder I want to leave you with:
You’re not too curious or too scattered. You’re simply wired for wonder.
- Innovation doesn’t come from control.
- It comes from curiosity.
- And when you follow it, everything starts to connect.
Listen now if you’re ready to rethink what it means to create, lead, and live with more curiosity and less constraint.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
