The Real Cure for Burnout Isn’t Rest—It’s Creativity. Here's How Anyone Can Unlock Theirs
Is creativity really just painting, writing, or dancing—or is it something far more essential to our wellbeing?
In this fascinating conversation, Katina Bajaj, creative health scientist and co-founder of Daydreamers, shares why creativity is a core pillar of health—just as important as diet, sleep, and exercise. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and her work at Columbia University, Katina explains how simple daily creative practices can boost mental health, improve resilience, and help us thrive.
In this episode, we unpack:
What creative health actually means—and why it’s overlooked
The 8 pillars of creativity validated by research
How “mini-c creativity” can reduce stress & support long-term brain health
Why flow state matters (and how it differs from scrolling)
How to close stress cycles through creative expression
Tools to overcome perfectionism, autopilot, and conformity
Practical ways to infuse creativity into any job, hobby, or relationship
✨ This episode redefines creativity as an everyday wellness practice—not a luxury. It will leave you inspired to reclaim your creative brain for better mental health, resilience, and joy.
✨ Homework: After listening, take 15 minutes for a creative practice—doodle, dance, cook without a recipe, or write freely—and notice how it shifts your energy.
