Caitlin's Creative Business Bookshelf

It's the final episode of the first season of Caitlin's Creative Business Bookshelf, can you believe it? I have had so much fun recording this and sharing each week with you, I hope you've enjoyed it too.

And for this final episode and the final book of season one, we're examining Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, and my conflicting feelings on it!

(Please note that my podcast mic didn't pick up properly during the recording of this, so the quality isn't as good as usual!)

Today I'm sharing some books that I read during the making of this podcast that are absolute bangers, but didn't make the cut for entire podcast episodes this season! I hope you find some great recommendations here, and please share if there are any books on creativity and creative business running that you think I should check out.
