The Creative Path to Finding Your Authentic Self with Jacob Nordby

Hey team!

Today I'm talking with Jacob Nordby—author, creative mentor, and founder of the Institute for Creative Living. Jacob's work blends personal development, creativity, and storytelling to help people live more aligned and authentic lives.

In our conversation, we talk about his late ADHD diagnosis and how that shaped his journey to finding his authentic self. We explore the challenges of masking, the struggle of figuring out who you really are after years of trying to fit in, and how journaling, self-discovery tools, and embracing curiosity can help peel back those layers. We also dive into what it means to live authentically with ADHD and the ways masking can drain us.

This Episode's Top Tips

    1. Use daily journaling with intentional prompts—Jacob recommends asking "How do I feel right now?", "What do I need right now?", and "What would I love to create?" to reconnect with your emotions, needs, and creative energy.

    2. Frame "rest" as active recovery—Instead of shaming yourself for downtime, recognize that pulling back sensory input (like a "pajama day" with blackout curtains) can be a crucial nervous system reset.

    3. Practice nonjudgmental self-discovery—Approach your exploration of who you are with curiosity instead of criticism, creating a safer internal space for growth.
