When’s the last time you really let yourself daydream? When you just let your weird little brain wander wherever it wanted to go.
Most of us forgot how. But your best ideas didn’t.
In this episode of The Envy League, we’re finally giving daydreaming the credit it deserves as one of the most underrated creative tools you forgot you had.
And we’re not doing it alone!
Meet our very first guest: the brilliantly talented and beautifully unhinged (in the best way possible) Caroline Sweet — actor, writer, improviser, director and your imagination’s permission slip. Together, we explore how to tap back into the secret, wonderfully chaotic space of your mind and what you find when you let yourself go.
Today we're breaking down:
- Why daydreaming is where the real ideas hide
- How to unstick your brain with a set of daydreaming creative tools
- Tiered daydreaming and how to find your dominant style
- The magic of 30-minute daydreams (and why you should never self-edit them)
- Why your most original ideas don’t come from thinking harder, they come from letting go
If you’ve been over-editing your work, stuck in performance mode, or just forgot how to make things fun again, this episode is your permission to stop overthinking and start dreaming during the day like you used to as a kid.
Because your next idea? It’s already in you.
You just haven’t daydreamed it out yet.
