If you’ve ever felt stuck, scattered, or completely blank when trying to come up with ideas, you’re not alone. Whether you’re overflowing with thoughts or feel like your brain is on pause, this episode breaks down what’s actually happening under the surface.
We’ll explore:
What an idea really is (and why that matters)
How curiosity sparks ideation
The two most common states that block idea flow
What it takes to cultivate, sustain, and create from your ideas over time
I’ll also walk through a real example of how a single question sparked by a TikTok, led me down a path of exploration, research, and insight. This isn’t about getting "better" ideas. It’s about learning how to recognize them, follow them, and build trust with your own creative rhythm.
🎧 This episode pairs with Ep. 34 — "Why Starting Feels So Hard & How to Finally Begin Again"
Listen to that one next if you're ready to take your idea and actually start.
