## Resource

Think you're not creative? Not so fast. In this episode, Raquel breaks down what's actually happening in your brain when ideas show up in the shower, on a walk, or mid-daydream, and gives you three ways to trigger that on purpose: going for a walk, asking "what if," and running a Worst Possible Idea brainstorm with your team. Plus, why daydreaming isn't a flaw, it's a creativity skill you've had since childhood.
