Lena: Hey everyone, welcome to another personalized podcast from BeFreed-I'm Lena, and honestly, I couldn't be more excited about today's topic because creativity is something we all crave more of in our lives.
Eli: And I'm Eli! Absolutely, Lena. You know what's fascinating? We're diving into this question of how to be more creative at a time when research shows that 98% of five-year-olds score as highly creative, but only 2% of adults over 25 retain that ability. So our listeners are asking exactly the right question-how do we get that spark back?
Lena: That's such a sobering statistic, but also hopeful, right? Because it means creativity isn't lost forever-it's just dormant. Today we're exploring insights from neuroscience, psychology, and some brilliant thinkers who've cracked the code on unleashing our creative potential.
