There's this inertia that keeps us from thinking differently and and doing things differently and um looking at ourselves and using our strengths. It's just life and many things about life keep us from doing that. So we have to break through that inertia of no in order to think differently, in order to come up with new solutions, new ideas, new innovations, and to grow.

Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and today we are going to be getting creative. Specifically, we're going to be talking about why it's crucial to our well-being and that of our differently wired children that we identify and exercise our own creative strengths. To talk about this, I'm bringing back to the podcast Catherine Hayden. She is a creativity and innovation strategist, and she has written and spoken widely on creative learning and the secret strengths of outlier. Thinkers. She's also the founder of Sparkativity, which is one of the things we talked about when I had her on the show back in year one.

Catherine is also going to share some specific tips on exactly how we can do this. This is one of those just really insightful, fascinating conversations.
