The Sheri and Erin Show - Lady Gaga, Bullying and Creativity

In this show we discussed how some people cut themselves off from creativity at a young age for a variety of reasons.  Sometimes we are distanced from our creativity because of fear of rejection and disapproval or we learn to deny our creativity and authenticity because we have been bullied by others.  Erin shares a story about her son and how he uses his imagination during play.  

 

We discussed the role of creativity in innovation and the recent interview on OWN with Oprah and Lady Gaga and how our cultural contempt for creativity has damaged many aspects of our lives from family life to government.  

 

We discussed how againstness and "right/wrong reality" create problems on a personal, professional and global level and how bullies suffer just as much as the people they bully. We discussed how sometimes we are our biggest bullies and the bullying we do to ourselves can often end up hurting others when we lash out.  We discussed how living in the box mentally keeps you and your loved ones in prison and how to live free by accepting others as they are.
