48. Claiming Your Creative Genius with James McCrae

"A mind that is too full of information, has no space for inspiration" - James McCrae Today’s guest is James McCrae and we’ll be talking about Why Isn’t Everyone Claiming Their Creative Genius? James is the genius behind Words Are Vibrations, a popular Instagram account that makes memes. Now, we know that may sound trite. But what this man is able to do is put his finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist and take these big, complex, sometimes disturbing ideas and communicate them inside of a single frame, a single image with so much wit, humor and wisdom, that it's truly an art form. In this episode, they dive into James' journey to becoming a popular spiritual meme creator, his belief that everyone can be a creative "genius," and how to foster creativity as a parent. They also discuss how the masculine and feminine play a huge role in creativity. Plus, Emily and James go deep into how you can start to utilize rituals, timing, and set your morning up for more success and creativity.  Creativity is your currency, and James is a master creator.
