What if your creativity isn’t lost—it’s just been waiting for permission to speak?
In this deeply human conversation, I sit down with Pia Leichter—award-winning creative professional turned “creative midwife”—who helps people birth the ideas, projects, and businesses they’ve been too afraid to begin.
Together, we unpack the truth about creativity: how it gets buried under expectations, how to redefine it beyond art and aesthetics, and how to reconnect with it in your life and business. Through personal stories, surprising perspectives, and a few hard truths, we explore why so many talented people feel disconnected from their creative voice—and how to finally find your way back.
Whether you’re a founder, freelancer, or idea-rich-but-time-poor entrepreneur, this episode will help you see creativity not as a luxury—but as a strategic and emotional lifeline.
