Deep Knowing: My interview on The Intense Mind podcast with Imi Lo

It was such an honor to be interviewed on The Intense Mind with Imi Lo, a podcast that dives into the complexities of creativity and the human experience. Our conversation explored the concept of deep knowing—how we access it and why it’s so essential in navigating life’s challenges. I especially loved discussing the power of metaphor and its unique ability to connect us with something greater than ourselves, beyond the boundaries of the rational mind. Imi’s thoughtful questions and insights made the experience so rich, and I’m excited to share this dialogue with everyone who resonates with the magic of creative intelligence.
