The Power of Creativity with Doireann Garrihy

This week, we explore The Power of Creativity! One of the main reasons our heads can be so wrecked is that we take ourselves so seriously these days! If we can make a little bit more time to be creative, whatever form that takes, we can unlock our wellbeing, lower our stress and boost our happiness.A woman who takes not being serious very seriously is our next wonderful guest on the series - broadcaster and award-winning podcaster Doireann Garrihy. Doireann wakes you up at the crack of dawn with her sketches, incredible impressions and on-air banter on RTÉ 2fm, she celebrates laughter on her award winning podcasts The Laughs of Your Life  & Doireann and Friends as well as outshining the stars on RTÉ TV’s Dancing with the Stars. I sat down with Doireann to talk about how true love can nurture true creativity, how family can keep that creative fire lit and how her fiancée’s addiction reminds her of the things that matter.I also have a fascinating conversation with chartered psychologist, author, columnist and an all-round delight Allison Keating. Allison is well known for her Ask Allison columns in the Irish Independent and is the author of The Secret Lives of Adults and a brand-new book called It’s All Too Much, out next September. From asking ‘is everyone creative?’ to ‘how can we reconnect with our creativity if we’re too serious these days? and more, we do a deep dive on creativity in this fascinating conversation.As always I answer some listener questions and give your weekly One Minute Meditation.
