Ep. 55: We Are ALL Creative with Pia Leichter
Season 3 Episode 55
What if creativity isn’t a talent, but a birthright?
In this energizing conversation, I sit down with Pia Leichter—creative partner, coach, and author of Welcome to the Creative Club—to talk about what really fuels creativity: self-trust, pausing, and the courage to follow your inner spark.
We explore: ✨ How creativity lives in the smallest moments ✨ What gets in the way of creative expression (spoiler: it's not lack of talent) ✨ Why building self-trust expands your capacity to create ✨ The radical idea that all humans are creative
If you’ve ever said, “I’m not creative,” this one’s for you. Let’s reclaim the joy, mess, and magic of making life your biggest art project.

MORE ABOUT ME:
I'm a mental health therapist, speaker, author and educator who helps organizations bridge the gap between knowing and doing the things that foster well-being, resilience and success. With expertise in school counseling, trauma-informed practices, and social-emotional intelligence (SEI), I help teams address the root causes of issues such as burnout, communication breakdowns, and resistance to change—rather than just treating surface-level symptoms. My engaging, evidence-based approach equips audiences with the skills to navigate discomfort, build trust and create healthier, more adaptive workplaces.
I'm also a "Resolutionist" with Empowered Workplace Dispute Resolution, where I leverage my trauma-informed expertise to guide difficult conversations with compassion and clarity. I create safe spaces for resolving conflicts, turning challenges into growth opportunities. Whether working with frontline workers, organizational teams or education
