Summary
In today’s Hot Seat conversation, Julie and I dive deep into what it really feels like when your creativity and cognitive clarity start slipping through your fingers. I talk through the hidden impact of dopamine-driven distraction, and we explore how removing social media can expose just how out of shape our brains have become. Together we dig into boredom as a skill, cognitive fitness as training, and the fears that surface when you step into collaboration and authenticity. If you’ve ever felt foggy, scattered, or disconnected from your creativity… this is the episode you need.
