In this compelling episode of The Creative Advantage, host Nicole Shannon explores an often-overlooked truth: creativity isn’t always light and inspiration. Sometimes, it fuels fear, anxiety, and spiraling self-doubt. But what if you could harness that energy to instead design solutions, build resilience, and reclaim your inner power?

Nicole invites you to examine the dark side of your creativity—and more importantly, learn how to transform it. Through neuroscience, storytelling, and practical exercises, you’ll learn how to redirect your imagination away from disaster-movie thinking and toward life-giving momentum. Creativity is neutral. It's how you use it that matters. Learn how to channel it wisely.
