✔️ What the Default Mode Network (DMN) actually is
✔️ Why it activates during moments of “non-productivity”
✔️ How daily writing gives your brain the fuel it needs to solve story problems subconsciously
✔️ The biblical pattern of breakthrough through withdrawal—and how it applies to your creative process
✔️ A science-backed writing challenge that activates your brain's silent creative engine
🎧 Listen now.

Keep the words rolling and the adventures unfolding,
