The Gifted Creative Podcast

This podcast explores creative intelligence, the integration of cognitive and somatic awareness that represents our return to full human capacity. As a creative intelligence researcher, I'm investigating what we once had but lost, and what some of us still carry despite every effort by our systems to break our creative intelligence.

Many people who've been labeled as having disabilities, learning differences, or who simply don't fit into current systems are actually carrying intact creative intelligence. What looked like a liability in rigid systems becomes essential capacity when those systems collapse.

We had this integrated intelligence before, the ability to think somatically, to see whole systems, to think top down and bottom up, to connect rather than separate, to integrate past wisdom with future possibilities. 

Our institutions trained us to fragment our intelligence, to privilege only cognitive processing, to fit into narrow definitions of how minds should work.

Now that those systems are failing, those of us who maintained or recovered our full intelligence are having to figure out how to survive and thrive without the structures that never really worked for us anyway. And we're discovering that what we carry is exactly what everyone needs now.

Through deep exploration of ancient wisdom, mythology, and philosophy, each episode recovers practical knowledge about how creative intelligence actually works. 

Together we can remember how to reconnect the connection that we lost and build a sustainable world that reclaims our full human capacity. An essential skill for navigating for the change we are about to face.
