The Global Creativity Initiative Podcast
The Global Creativity Initiative Network shares academic research for practical insights, information and application of our human superpower. Creativity is within all of us. We can and must learn to become more creative. If you haven't heard, creativity is now one of the most important skills of our time. And if you're not sure about all this 'creativity stuff,' we've got you covered. Our team gets it.

On Not Defining Creativity
In this thought-provoking episode, we’re joined by Dr. Terry Marks-Tarlow, clinician, author, independent scholar, and expert in nonlinear dynamics and creativity. Based in Santa Monica, Dr. Marks-Tarlow bridges cutting-edge science and deep clinical insight, offering a fascinating lens on the power of intuition, fractal geometry, and the art of being fully human.
We explore how creativity is essential to transformation, why it's rooted in both culture and biology, and how reconnecting with intuition is key to navigating change in a chaotic world.
Some key points-
- Every human, not just the "geniuses" is inherently creative.
- Intuition in creativity is key for psychological healing.
- Culture shapes, and sometimes limits, creative expression.
- There's a natural science to creativity in nonlinear systems, fractals, and chaos theory.
- Systems and people are slow to change. Creativity catalyzes transformation.
- The importance of inner space and spontaneous emergence.
- How we orient in social space shapes self-expression.
Practical Takeaways:
- For Parents: Don’t over-structure your child’s time. Free, symbolic play is vital for development and creativity.
- For Adults: Everyone is creative. Find your flow and discover how creativity shows up uniquely in your life.
- For All: Plan for unstructured time. Let spontaneity guide you — the brain’s play circuits are crucial for well-being and innovation.
