Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur. She is also the founder of Kollektiv Studio, where she is uniquely positioned to co-create wild visions and ventures.
Are you unknowingly silencing your creativity? In this transformative episode, Pia dives deep into the invisible inner stories that block creative potential and how to rewrite them. From confronting your "inner saboteur" to embracing uncertainty, Pia unpacks powerful neuroscience-backed insights and emotional tools to reconnect with your innate creativity.
We explore the universal "Judge" voice (based on Shirzad Chamine's research), how to distinguish fear from intuition, and why reframing creativity as an experiment leads to freedom and flow. You'll also learn how to build new neural pathways, regulate emotional triggers, and trust the creative process, even when outcomes are uncertain.
Whether you believe you're "not creative" or a lifelong artist battling perfectionism, this conversation is your permission slip to create boldly, imperfectly, and authentically.
In this episode, expect to learn:
- Understanding and quieting your inner saboteur
- Rewiring your brain for creativity through consistent practice
- Embracing intuition over fear-based decisions
- The emotional cost of clinging to outdated identities
- Using self-compassion to unlock creative freedom
- How rest, grounding, and emotional resilience fuel creativity
- The 4 stages of the creative process (neuroscience-based)
- Plus much more
