Creativity coach and founder of PDX Vox, Marie Schumacher spoke with me onDisobedient Femmes about why cultivating creativity is important for being our authentic selves, being able to deal with change effectively and offer some ways that we can develop creative resilience given the challenges we face.

Among other things she commented:

“Creativity is connecting the dots in an unusual way, and coming up with a new way to look at something or solve a problem.It’s about keeping your brain really nimble. Wall have dreams at night. Our dreams are our brains sorting through all of these different ideas, sometimes connecting things that don’t go together. We want to have that kind of fluidity in our daily lives to some degree so that we can come up with new solutions.”
