The Blindboy Podcast
This discussion, by the very brilliant Blindboy, is with Prof Anna Abraham, a psychologist and neuroscientist who studies creativity and the human imagination. They chat about everything from creative Flow to the Beatles to Neurodiversity.
They discuss creativity for mental health, and describe in further detail what the FLOW state is, and what creativity offers us. Again, the message is clear: creativity is not some extra or luxury item; it is a pillar of our mental health, and should be planned for as much as a good diet or good sleep.
Creative flow connects us with our SOURCE - and so feels totally relevant to our theme for the month. That experience of flow can be so hard to find - but is worth it when we do. How we reach that state can tell us so much about what we value and what we’re good at, what we love and what lights the fire in our belly.

I think Blindboy is a true maverick - check out his podcast. I love his meanderings, his lilting Irish accent, his way of seeing the world, his guests and his humour. He is a regular on my listening list.
