Embracing the Inner Child in Creativity this holiday season

Hosts Charlie and Barbra explore the concept of embracing the inner child to enhance creativity in this episode of their podcast, Doodles to Dazzle. They feature a discussion on the holiday Sinterklaas, celebrated in Belgium and Netherlands, known for its dedication to children. They delve into how rigid societal norms and expectations can cage our 'inner child' and stifle creativity. The hosts share their personal experiences and strategies for maintaining their sense of wonder, spontaneity, and playfulness, such as knitting and trying other new activities. They emphasize the importance of living in the present moment, embracing fun, and challenging limiting beliefs to stimulate creativity. They conclude by encouraging their listeners to try unexplored activities that go beyond their comfort zones and to share their inner child-embracing stories online.
