ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In today's episode, I sit down with Lucy Colgan, host of The Wilderness of Creativity, a brilliant podcast exploring how creativity shapes our mental health, wellbeing and sense of self.
Lucy takes us behind the scenes of how and why the podcast came to be and how it became almost accidentally, somewhere to rebuild a sense of self. Nearly a hundred episodes and two years on, she reflects on what it's taught her about mentorship, her own voice, and giving herself permission not to be an expert.
From there, the conversation opens out into a bigger question Lucy's been sitting with for years: why the value of creativity in schools still needs defending after three decades of research already proving it. She makes a brilliant and compelling case.
So if you've ever wondered whether creativity is something you're allowed to claim for yourself, this episode might be exactly what you need to hear!
Enjoy the show!
