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.

Premium content + Q&As access to podcast creatorsOur children are entering an uncertain future, necessitating a shift in parenting approaches from previous generations. It is crucial to prepare them for a world where many variables are currently unknown.
When confronted with the unknown, the best course of action is to focus on the known parts, and in this case, that would be the child. Cultivating a child involves helping them understand their strengths and guiding them in utilizing these strengths to overcome their weaknesses.
Regrettably, our education system and society often hinder the development of creativity in children. Current systems still operate under the assumption that graduates will follow traditional paths, such as working on assembly lines or in office spaces creating standardized products. Meanwhile, businesses and futurists are calling for professionals who can tap into their creative strengths and use them to innovate within the ever-evolving parameters of the future.
Beth Anne and Lillian share their experiences, discussing the challenges and rewards of raising five gifted Neurodivergent children spanning ages 0 to 23. With this diverse range, they encompass the full spectrum of experiences that parents face in today's world. The ultimate goal is to nurture independent, resilient adults capable of carving out their own paths, careers, crafts, and lives, regardless of the uncertainties the future may bring.
