On today’s episode, Catherine interviews Camilla Sironi, author and entrepreneur based in Quebec, Canada. Born in Italy to a French mother and an Italian father, Camilla has been avidly cultivating her passion for literature since childhood. Founder of a communication agency with a social vocation and mother of two young children, she published her first novel, Yet, I am here, in 2020 and will publish her second book later this year. Besides adult fiction, Camilla also writes poetry and children's stories. During the interview, Camilla and Catherine talk about what it means to become a professional creative, carving time for creativity when you have a busy schedule, and the necessary grace we all need to give ourselves as we embark on new creative endeavours. 

Conversation Highlights:

• Why thinking about your audience when creating is important as you go from hobbyist to professional.
• How, as an entrepreneur, you get to decide how you “use” your time.
• What Camilla does to stay accountable, make sure she takes advantage of her creative time, and… push through resistance!

PLUS: The importance of giving yourself the opportunity to be imperfect and vulnerable.
