Profound Creativity in a Chaotic World S6E28
Angie Dixon is a profoundly creative troublemaker in the best possible way—an author, artist, lifelong multipassionate, and the original human behind The Leonardo Trait, a concept she coined nearly twenty years ago to describe people whose minds refuse to sit quietly in one box. (Her brain didn’t just refuse; it climbed out the window, scaled the gutters, and started planting a rooftop garden.)
After decades of believing she was “too much”—too curious, too scattered, too intense—Angie eventually discovered that everything she’d been told to tone down was actually the engine of her genius. A later-in-life autism diagnosis finally connected the dots: the way she thinks isn’t a flaw. It’s a creative superpower with a mischievous twinkle.
That revelation sparked the brand-new, fully reimagined 4th edition of The Leonardo Trait: Profound Creativity in a Chaotic World—a fiercely honest, funny, and liberating guide for every neurodivergent soul who’s ever been told to “focus,” “finish,” or otherwise behave like a beige file folder. Angie brings all of herself to this edition: the disability journey that changed her life, the workaholism recovery that saved it, the decades of creative detours, and the stubborn hope that people like her aren’t broken—they’re brilliant.
When she’s not writing or painting tiny works of abstract art, Angie is probably in bed with earbuds, plotting her next project, redesigning half her website, or lovingly harassing Ziggy, her AI assistant, into becoming a more civilized creature. She lives in Arkansas with her husband of 33 years, her grown kids who still make her laugh, and an assortment of cats who absolutely do not respect personal boundaries.
Her mission—whether in books, art, summits, or stray bursts of unexpected wisdom—is simple:
Help profoundly creative people finally feel at home in their own minds.
Because once you stop trying to “fix” yourself, you can finally start creating the life you were meant to live.
