In Ten Years Time Podcast Returns for Season 6 Exploring the Science of Creativity
The acclaimed podcast In Ten Years Time: How to Live a Creative Life, hosted by creative strategist and author Tricia Duffy, has officially returned with its sixth season, marking another milestone in its mission to help people live more intentional, fulfilling, and creatively rich lives.
Launching today, 15 January 2026, the new series places a spotlight on the Science of Creativity, blending research-backed insights with practical, everyday strategies designed to support listeners across all ages, backgrounds, and stages of life.
After winning Best Arts & Design Podcast at the Women in Podcasting Awards for the second consecutive year, the show continues to cement its position as one of the most influential voices in the creative living and personal growth podcast space.
At its core, In Ten Years Time is not just a podcast—it’s a philosophy for living. Developed by Tricia Duffy, the ITYT framework encourages people to step away from short-term pressure and instead adopt long-term thinking, anchored in small, achievable daily actions.
The “Power of Ten” Philosophy
Duffy’s approach is based on a simple yet powerful idea:
Think 10 years ahead
Break goals into 10-year, 10-month, and 10-day visions
Commit to small daily steps that compound over time
This method helps listeners reconnect with creativity not as a talent reserved for a few, but as a lifelong practice that enhances emotional wellbeing, cognitive health, and personal identity.
Season Six: Exploring the Science Behind Creativity
The sixth season expands the podcast’s scope by examining creativity through a scientific and neurological lens, without losing its accessible, human-centered tone.
Key Themes Explored This Season
The new episodes delve into topics including:
Cognitive wellness and mental resilience
Neurodiversity and creative identity
Creativity and dementia
Left-brain vs right-brain thinking myths
The neuroscience of imagination
Faith, belief systems, and creative confidence
How creativity supports long-term brain health
Rather than treating creativity as a vague or mystical concept, the series explores how it is wired into the human brain, how it evolves over time, and how it can be nurtured intentionally.
Challenging Myths Around Creativity
One of the defining aims of season six is to debunk persistent myths that prevent people from engaging creatively.
Common Creativity Myths Addressed
“I’m not creative.”
“Creativity fades with age.”
“You need talent to be creative.”
“Creativity is only for artists.”
Through expert interviews, research-driven discussions, and lived experience, Duffy reframes creativity as:
A cognitive skill, emotional outlet, and problem-solving tool available to everyone.
Listener Impact: A Podcast That Changes Lives
Tricia Duffy has consistently highlighted the deep emotional impact the podcast has had on its audience.
According to Duffy, listener messages describing how the show has helped them:
Rediscover forgotten passions
Navigate career transitions
Cope with burnout or grief
Rebuild confidence after life changes
have become a constant source of motivation.
“Hearing from people who say the podcast helped them reconnect with who they are—or who they want to become—is incredibly moving,” Duffy shared.
Spotlight Episode: Interview With Ben Miller
The final episode of season six features a conversation with Ben Miller, a respected cognitive diversity advocate and service designer.
Why This Episode Stands Out
Explores creativity through the lens of neurodivergence
Examines how systems can better support different thinking styles
Highlights creativity as a tool for inclusion and innovation
Duffy has described the episode as a personal highlight of the season, noting its relevance in a world increasingly focused on accessibility, mental health, and inclusive design.
Beyond the Podcast: A Broader Creative Ecosystem
In Ten Years Time extends far beyond audio episodes. Tricia Duffy has built a holistic creative living ecosystem designed to support long-term growth.
Additional Resources Offered
Creative Living Workshops (online and in-person)
A fortnightly handwritten-style newsletter
Free creative planning tools
The Ten Year Plan Template, a downloadable guide for long-term vision building
These resources are designed to help listeners move from inspiration to action, turning ideas into sustainable creative habits.
Why Creative Practice Matters More Than Ever
In an age of constant distraction, rapid technological change, and increasing cognitive load, the podcast argues that creativity is not optional—it’s essential.
Benefits of Long-Term Creative Practice
Research and expert insights highlighted in the series suggest creative engagement can:
Improve memory and focus
Support emotional regulation
Reduce stress and anxiety
Enhance problem-solving skills
Strengthen identity and purpose over time
The podcast positions creativity as a lifelong wellness strategy, rather than a side hobby.

Season six of In Ten Years Time: How to Live a Creative Life is available across all major podcast platforms, including:

All supporting tools, workshops, and resources can be accessed via the official In Ten Years Time website.
Final Thoughts: A Podcast for the Long View
As it enters its sixth season, In Ten Years Time continues to stand out in a crowded podcast landscape by offering something rare: permission to slow down, think long-term, and live creatively on your own terms.
For listeners seeking depth, clarity, and practical guidance in shaping a meaningful future, this latest series arrives at exactly the right moment.
