Dr. Samantha Yammine shares with Shane Hewitt how the absence of stimulation gives the brain space to generate ideas, strengthen creativity, and nurture mental well-being. This episode uncovers why embracing boredom is essential for growth and how imagination often emerges from the quiet moments we tend to overlook.
