Boost Mental Health & Heal Emotions With Creativity (Plus The Truth About Happiness), with IN-Q - Emmy-Nominated Poet & Multi-Platinum Songwriter


Listen Later

One of the most powerful (and underused) tools for emotional healing is creative self-expression. In honour of Mental Health Awareness Month, we're diving into the powerful intersection of creativity, art, relationships, and mindset — and how you can use your unique voice to alchemize pain and struggle.

This episode is for anyone looking to improve their emotional resilience, self-awareness, and connection to others through the healing power of creativity. 

I’m joined by my favourite writer, IN-Q — an Emmy-nominated poet, multi-platinum songwriter, world renowned keynote speaker, best-selling author of Inquire Within and The Never Ending Now Poetry journal. IN-Q has written songs with artists like Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Mike Posner, and he was named to Oprah's SuperSoul 100 list of the world's most influential thought leaders. He hosts writing workshops around the world, and works with brands like Nike, Spotify, Google and Lululemon to help their teams tell their stories and find their authentic voice.

Tune in to hear more about:

  • How creative expression can help process trauma, anxiety, and loneliness
  • What’s causing our current mental health crisis?
  • Why creativity and storytelling are the most underused tools in the mental health toolkit
  • The wellness modalities that IN-Q taps into
  • The impact of technology and AI on our mental health
  • What is happiness, and have we commodified the pursuit of it?
  • How to cultivate more compassion and connection
  • Reconnecting to community in a lonely and isolated world
  • How to set healthy boundaries without isolating ourselves
  • Taking responsibility for our emotions in relationships
  • Co-regulating with your partner and establishing non-negotiables
  • Overcoming the fear of creating or sharing your work

I hope this episode helps you reconnect with yourself and your playful creativity.
