Welcome to UN/DO - the podcast where we rethink work, rest, and play. Hosted by Dulcie and Yemisi, this season is all about unlearning the rules we’ve been handed and doing life on our terms. If you’re done shrinking, settling, or running on fumes…you’re in the right place.

This week, we’re talking about something a lot of us quietly long for: creativity. Not to perform. Not to monetise. But to feel alive again.

Whether you stopped creating because of shame, self-doubt, or just the busy-ness of life, this episode is here to remind you: you’re not uncreative, you’re just out of practice. And it’s never too late to begin again.

In this episode:

• Why so many of us stopped creating in the first place

• The myth that creativity = talent, output, or utility

• What psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi discovered about joy and creative flow

• Why Hayao Miyazaki is our forever inspiration

• Our signature UN/DO practice - one thing to unlearn, one thing to do differently
