Creativity isn’t just about art, music, or writing—it’s a way of life. On this week’s episode of I Wonder: Getting Curious with Dr. Cristie Ritz King, Alexandra Jamison joins us to explore the power of creativity and how it can help us navigate personal and collective challenges.
Alexandra, co-author of Radical Alignment and a celebrated coach for women, candidly shares her journey from feeling torn between societal norms and her artistic calling to fully embracing her identity as a creative. She discusses the myths that hold many of us back—like the belief that creativity isn’t “practical” or “important”—and challenges these notions with powerful insights.
Key Takeaways:
- Creativity Is for Everyone
Creativity isn’t reserved for artists or writers. It’s a fundamental part of being human, from problem-solving to self-expression. - Reclaiming Creativity in Adversity
During challenging times, creativity serves as both a refuge and a source of hope. Whether it’s painting, journaling, or even gardening, creative outlets allow us to process emotions and find inspiration. - Practical Tools for Creative Growth
Alexandra introduces the All-In Method from her book Radical Alignment. This four-step process—intention, concerns, boundaries, and dreams—helps foster meaningful communication and unlock creative potential. - It’s Okay to Start Small
Alex reminds us that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s about showing up, experimenting, and being open to growth—even if the initial attempts fall short. - Healing Through Creativity
Creativity can facilitate healing, both personally and in relationships. As Alex says, “Your own healing will be facilitated by trying creative stuff when you’re ready.”
