We spend years learning how to be "professional" creatives, only to realize that professionalism often kills the magic. In this episode, I’m sitting on the floor with my 4-year-old, watching her shape shift between "Princess" and "Moana," and realizing that she is the teacher.

We discuss:

• The "cringe" of adult perfectionism.

• Why we freeze when we try to create.

• How to unlearn the rigidity of adulthood.

• The lesson my daughter taught me: Creation is not about the result; it is about the flow.

"She doesn't ask if her art is good; she just asks for more paper."
