Conversations with Cam

Creativity, Joy, and Play as Pathways to Wellness with Katina Bajaj


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Katina Bajaj, the author of “On Adulting” and cofounder of Daydreamers: a wellbeing startup that utilizes creativity as a health modality. Katina and I discuss her trajectory from investment banking and why she left the corporate world, how she started the “On Adulting” blog which later became a book, and how motherhood can instill childlike wonder. We also discuss the baggage around the word “creativity,” actionable ways to create “transition times” in your day and prevent burnout, and the difference between pleasure and effortful enjoyment.

 

Key Takeaway / Points:

  • Katina’s career change and why she left her job in investment banking
  • How she started “On Adulting,” her blog about growing up in a mindful and joyful way
  • How parenting styles have shifted throughout the generations
  • Our societal obsession with productivity
