In this episode of Connected Conversations for Creatives, I’m excited to welcome Dr. Laura Gabayan—a physician, researcher, and author of Common Wisdom. We’re unpacking a topic I find so intriguing: the connection between creativity and wisdom. Dr. Gabayan shares how creativity isn’t just an artistic quality; it’s actually one of the building blocks of wise living. She walks us through her research on what makes someone wise, from resilience and kindness to curiosity and tolerance. I loved hearing her perspective on how practicing these traits can add richness to our lives and bring us more fulfillment. Plus, she’s got some simple advice for us all: the power of kindness. If you’re looking to grow both creatively and personally, this conversation is for you.
