Hello friends!
Welcome back to Season 4 of the Creative Genius Podcast! Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new to this space, I’m so thrilled to have you here. If you’ve been exploring your creativity and looking for ways to deepen that connection, this podcast is designed to nourish that part of you.
No matter who you are and how you see the world, my sense is we can all agree: so much of how we operate as modern humans feels…broken. We’re glitching.
But I believe, from the depths of my being, that there is a light within all of us that can resolve this. That light is creativity. It’s the intelligence that animates the universe, from the unseen wonders of nature and consciousness to the beauty that surrounds us in everyday life—trees, rocks, rivers. Creativity is the force that calls us to dance with it and create more beauty. Our purpose, as Frank Zappa once said, is to “decorate our moment in time as beautifully as we can.”
My mission with this podcast is to help you awaken that creative intelligence within yourself and inspire you to share it with the world. We are all waiting for each other to do this.
There’s something BIG on my heart as we launch this new season: I’ve set a big, audacious goal to reach 1 million new listeners this year. That’s right, 1 million new ears tuned in to these transformative, creativity-fueled conversations. It’s a bold dream, but I believe in the power of creativity to heal, inspire, and change lives—and I need your help to make this happen.

Season 4 Premiere with Andrew Holecek
We’re kicking off this season with the remarkable Andrew Holecek, an expert in lucid dreaming and meditation. If you’ve ever wondered about the untapped power of your dreams or how meditation can transform your waking life, this episode will captivate you. Andrew shares mind-bending facts about lucid dreaming and its potential to supercharge creativity, as well as shocking insights into how our brainwaves change over time.
In fact, Andrew reveals that meditation in the dream state can be 7 to 9 times more powerful than in the waking state. And he shares practical advice on how to begin controlling your dreams tonight, with a simple practice that anyone can start. This episode is packed with wisdom, laughter, and actionable tools that will help you unlock a deeper level of self-awareness and creativity.
Whether you’re new to lucid dreaming or an experienced dreamer, Andrew’s insights will leave you thinking about your dreams—and your waking life—in a whole new way.
A Magical Summer and Pebblebellies
This summer, I spent time in one of the most magical places in the world—a remote beach on Vancouver Island, where Orca whales regularly rub their bellies on the perfectly smooth, dark stones that line the shore. I’ve been going to this special spot for 25 years, first as part of a marine conservation project and now with my children, who join me each year.
Watching these magnificent creatures is always breathtaking. Whether I spend days waiting patiently for them or witness groups of 40 Orcas playing right in front of me, the experience is life-changing. Sitting on the beach, surrounded by nature, is where I gather the beautiful stones that become my Pebblebellies necklaces. These smooth, dark stones carry the magic of that place and the touch of these incredible animals.
This trip left me with a renewed sense of creativity and excitement for my work—both in jewelry making and in podcasting. I’ve applied what I’ve learned from past guests, as well as from my own meditation and creative practice, and I’m thrilled to share the results with you.
I am grateful and excited to be on this journey together.
Thank you for being part of this amazing community. Let’s make 2024 the year creativity reaches 1 million new ears and hearts!
Thank you for being here, and I look forward to this season’s journey together.
Warmly,
