What if your life was your greatest creative project?

In this electrifying episode, Gabriela sits down with Pia Leichter —creative partner, author of Welcome to the Creative Club, and founder of Collective Studio—to unravel what it really means to live creatively.

From her nomadic upbringing and journalism days in Sri Lanka to creative directing for top global brands, Pia's path has been anything but conventional. But what ties it all together is her belief: creativity is not something you earn—it's something you reclaim.

This conversation dives deep into:

• Why creativity isn't a talent—it's a birthright
• The neuroscience behind the imagination network
• How structure-loving professionals can reconnect to play and innovation
• The power of micro-experiments and "not knowing" as a creative portal
• How we can choose the next act of our lives, no matter where we are now

Whether you're a lawyer, artist, entrepreneur, or simply human—this is your invitation to reawaken your creative spirit and design a life with no regrets.

Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur. Her path has been anything but ordinary: a recovering nomad, she's reported as a journalist in Sri Lanka, graduated summa cum laude from NYU, and worked as an award-winning creative director for some of the biggest brands in the world. Now, as the founder of Kollektiv Studio, she's uniquely positioned to co-create wild visions and ventures.

She recently published Welcome to the Creative Club, a book that challenges everything people thought they knew about creativity. Praised by Google's Global Head of Creative & Innovation as "life-changing" and by iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson as "a wild ride," this part-memoir, part-guide invites readers to make life their biggest art project and reclaim their creative power.
