Headtime Stories with Mikli: What’s it Like in Your Brain?

Creative flow, creative blocks… Venus flytraps? I interview extra special guest husband, Mon San Sebastian, on creativity!

This episode was recorded from the balcony of a Tagaytay bed and breakfast.

So aside from discussions on:

• How creativity is like a venus flytrap
• Trying to make sure said venus flytraps don’t run out of… creativity flies? feat. Mario Kart
• What creativity looks like outside of artistic fields, and playing a game of how-would-you-connect-these-random-things (Mon’s was a dog, a water bottle and harm reduction; mine was a motorcycle, a towel, and the concept of bidets)

You’ll also hear the sweet sweet sounds of Mother Nature herself! The breeze, the birds, and the intermission because we had to stop to admire and watch the sunset, whew
