We Are All Creative: Sustaining Creative Energy in Everyday Life — Mari Reisberg

Did you know you are creative? Not just if you're an artist. Not just if you can draw or sing. You. Right now.

Maybe you've been telling yourself you're "not creative." Maybe you've been stuck in perfectionism, afraid to make mistakes. Maybe you've been so busy being productive that you've forgotten how to play.

Mari Reisberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor, performer, and creativity cultivator who believes that we are all creative—and life is way more fun when we can find creativity in everyday life . She holds a BFA in Acting and an MA in Somatic Counseling Psychology, Dance/Movement Therapy, and has spent 25 years at the intersection of the performing arts and healing arts .

In this episode of Empowered Conversations, we talk about:

· What creativity really is—beyond art, performance, or "talent"

· Why so many adults feel creatively shut down or "not imaginative anymore"

· Common barriers to creativity—perfectionism, fear of judgment, and productivity culture

· How nervous system states impact creative flow

· Simple, doable tools to reconnect with your creative self

· How play, movement, and silliness can become powerful creative practices

· One thing you can do today to spark your creativity

Whether you're a performer or someone who's never touched a paintbrush, this conversation will remind you that creativity isn't something you either have or don't have—it's a relationship you can rebuild, one tiny experiment at a time .
