Description

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to think?


This week on The Creative Consultants, Trudi and Matt dive into the art of going slow to go fast - and why deep creativity can’t be rushed.


Could a little daydreaming unlock your best ideas yet?


In this episode, we explore:


💡 Why thinking time is golden (hello, Mind Palace)

💡 How “going slow” actually speeds up your creative execution

💡 The neuroscience behind imagination as a brain spa

💡 Why swimming, play, and daydreaming solve complex problems

💡 How to protect white space in your calendar without guilt

💡 Poker hands, Sovereign Hill, and the compendium of ideas in your brain


If you’re feeling stuck in “doing mode,” this conversation will inspire you to embrace wonder, slowness, and the unexpected brilliance that follows.
