EP. #14 // Not sure what's in the air these days, but I'm seeing so many creatives falling into creative ruts lately so I think it's time we talked about this. We'll be touching on the following questions in this episode:

What even defines a creative rut? How do you know if you're in one? What can one actively do to get out of one? How do you bounce back from this? Is this something to embrace instead of avoid?

Listen to see how I navigate this creative hurdle and see how you too can get out of this.

EP. #13 // We've all dealt with rejection! As a creative, it's one of those things that really makes you feel like you "made it"! Especially, when you finally get your big break.

Is rejection truly redirection? Can you overcome this feeling over time? How does one handle constant rejection? How do you manage rejection in our current social media landscape?

I'm sharing a few reasons why I believe experiencing rejection is one of the best things that could happen to a creative and what you can learn from experiencing it.
