In the final research episode of the season, Lindsey connects themes from conversations with Heather, Ida, and Darrel to examine how time pressure and technology, while beneficial, can quietly increase cognitive load, encourage shortcut thinking like cognitive offloading, and erode creative and collective mindsets. Drawing on research and guest stories, Lindsey offers a framework – stepping back, leaning in, and holding space, to show how awe can expand creative capacity, fight burnout, and widen prosocial motivation. Lindsey ends with practical ways to build “awe muscles” and how one might seek awe more. See all resources mentioned in this episode on our website (https://www.inaglimpse.com/season2-episode-13).
