The Everyday Creative

Episode 53 | The Dark Side of Creativity

Listen Later

Welcome to the shadowy side of creative genius! In this thought-provoking episode, Evie and Emily chat about the lesser-discussed dark side of creativity — where intention, energy, and expression collide. Creativity isn’t always sunshine and inspiration. Sometimes it’s manipulation, destruction, and ego in disguise. Buckle up, because we’re exploring it all — from narcissistic inventors to weaponized bees.

 

Episode Highlights:

  • The definition of negative creativity and why it's not always “bad”
  • Why you are what you create — and what that says about your inner energy
  • A breakdown of four negative energy drivers 
  • The concept of unintentional negative creativity — when well-meant ideas go wrong
  • Reflections on creative responsibility and how to harness your energy positively
