Be Createfull

Meredith Jones is our special guest for this week's conversation about finding our identity in the midst of imposter syndrome, assumptions, and first impressions. We're building off last week's episode about Imposter Syndrome. We had A LOT of thoughts, so we've split the conversation into two parts. Enjoy part one and will back with the rest next week.
