What does neurodiversity mean for creativity?

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Every brain works differently, a game-changing thought when it comes to our creative potential, abilities and talents. Whether you are diagnosed as neurodivergent or not, Tricia explores what we can all learn about our own unique preferences or conditions for creating, and how everyone can use that to their advantage.

Could creativity reduce the risk of dementia?

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

While ageing is something we should embrace – it is inevitable, after all – it brings many worries about the unknown, especially around our health. In this episode, Tricia explores the benefits flowing from creative activity and the positive impact on our long-term cognitive health, potentially reducing the chance of developing dementia, as well as easing the symptoms.

Has 'left brain thinking' taken over?

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Creativity is often sidelined in society for more analytical, narrow thinking, something that can be explained by our privileging of ‘left brain’ thinking. But what are the myths we have internalised? And what should we try and unlearn if we are to become more open-minded about our own creative potential?

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Taking a leap of faith can be daunting, but sometimes it can lead us to our best creative work yet. In this episode Tricia looks at the role of chance, the idea of ‘synchronicity,’ which might just help you find the inspiration you need to set you on the right creative path.

Creativity Might Save Your Life

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

We all instinctively know that being creative is good for us in the moment - it calms us down, it makes us feel good. But now the cold, hard evidence is in! Creativity is really good for our health and for our brains in the long term too. In this episode Tricia finds out what’s really going on up there when we create, and why creating might just be the most important thing you could do for your health.

The Interview: Creating alongside diagnosis with Dr Angela Chan

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 23:00:00 GMT

What happens when a terminal diagnosis means you might not have ten years? In the final episode of this series Tricia interviews academic, researcher, singer and most importantly, close friend, Dr Angela Chan. After being diagnosed with terminal breast cancer in early 2025, Angela faced the question most of us hope never to confront: what do I do with less than a year left on this planet? In this moving and unmissable episode Tricia and Angela talk about overcoming your fears, the evolution of a creative practice and the healing potential of creativity. What could you achieve in ten months, ten days, or even ten minutes?

Creative Inertia

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 23:00:00 GMT

There’s an inevitable moment in any creative’s journey where the juices stop flowing and we reach a state of inertia. Maybe you’ve noticed it, or maybe – even more dangerously – you haven’t! Either way, acting before we hit rock bottom is critical. Tricia explores how to avoid inertia creeping into our craft and how we can empower ourselves to make a change to embrace more creativity without completely upturning our lives.

The Why of Creativity

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 23:00:00 GMT

Summer is over and Tricia is back with a fifth series of the In Ten Years Time podcast all about maintaining your creativity. It's not unusual to set out on your creative journey and find that sustaining the momentum is actually pretty hard. Some people wonder why they don't feel happy all the time, and others get disappointed if they don't hit the big time straight away. What if neither of these mindsets is quite right? Tricia is here to guide you towards finding new inspiration, help you build good habits and identify the non-negotiable 'why' that will feed your creative engines with the fire you need to keep going, even when times are tough.

The Interview: Finding Communion with Laura Edralin

Wed, 14 May 2025 23:00:00 GMT

In the final episode of the series Tricia speaks to calligrapher, artist, creative coach and community builder Laura Edralin. Growing up in an artistic household Laura has always had creativity in the blood, but it wasn’t until later in life and leaving a well-established career that she discovered calligraphy. First as a form of recovery and healing, and second as a passion that grew into a business, Laura tells Tricia about how her love of letters has transformed her life and many others. What can we gain from slowing down? From trying something new with others? From vulnerability?

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 23:00:00 GMT

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:00:10 GMT

It’s a comfort to do more of that one thing we’re already really good at, but what if we branched out? By striving to be a polymath, by extending ourselves a little bit every day, we can continue to feel fulfilled. In this episode, Tricia discusses the power of mixing media or combining our skills to amplify our creativity. Resulting in something truly original and unique, this may lead you down the road less travelled.

Reframing Rejection

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 00:00:17 GMT

Why is rejection so awful? As creatives, the pain of rejection can sometimes make us question why we’re even bothering to pursue a creative life. But Tricia thinks that there might be a different way. Can we harness this rejection into something more constructive, and amplify our creativity in the process? Inspired by her ‘one hundred rejections for Christmas’ idea, it turns out that trying really hard to get rejected might just be the secret to success.

Embracing the Fertile Void

Thu, 09 Jan 2025 00:00:06 GMT

In series 3 of the podcast we are looking at the theme of amplifying. In this episode, Tricia discusses the ‘fertile void’. But what is it, and why is it so important?

Often we get so caught up in the endless cycle of creating, that we forget that taking rest is crucial to creativity. Inspired by Gestalt theory, Tricia talks through the different stages of the process, and why the in-between moments are a must for living a creative life. How do we resist the pull of everything that demands our attention every day? And is it really that easy to do nothing?
