Your brain wants to keep you safe. Your creativity wants to set you free. And somewhere between those two is you—spiraling, second-guessing, and crying into your draft wondering if you accidentally deleted your own soul.
In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative Podcast, Caitlin talks about what it's like when you lose your creative connection, and how to gently find your way back. Whether you’re writing a novel, launching a project, or trying something new for the first (or umpteenth) time, this is your invitation to soften into being a beginner again.
💬 “Creativity is the way that we leave a legacy of human experience. Your brain isn’t designed for that—but your spirit is. Your heart is. Your soul is.” – Caitlin Liz Fisher
In this episode, Caitlin gets real about:
- Why your brain rebels against learning new things (it’s biology, not failure)
- The existential spiral of losing connection with your own story
- People-pleasing in your creative work (even when you don’t realize it’s happening)
- The spiritual side of storytelling and reconnecting with your heart
- Creativity as legacy, not performance
