In Episode 14 I spoke with Nandini Rao, someone I knew from 20 years ago, having done a 7 weeks long playback theatre workshop with her. We chatted about the place of art and creativity in our lives, not just as a way to unwind but also as a place to reflect, build objectivity and create resilience. How we are thankful that our lives are unscripted.
We also talked about:
• Running two careers for 11 years before going all in
• Rebuilding identity after personal and professional loss
• Using creativity to process emotions and lead better
• Why “adulting” less can actually make you stronger
