Janet Clare joins Rachel to explore the journey of creative growth and authenticity in a world that often feels chaotic and judgmental. Together they reflect on how the pandemic reset their perspectives, helping them realize what truly matters in life and creative work.

• Finding inner calm and creative peace even when the outside world feels unstable
• Confronting the inner critic that asks "who am I to create?" and charging forward anyway
• Understanding that creativity sits at the top of our needs pyramid, requiring all other needs to be met first
• The powerful mindset shift of actively seeking 100 rejections rather than avoiding rejection
• Recognizing that "authenticity is magnetic" - when we're true to ourselves, we attract the right people
• Stepping outside comfort zones with new creative directions while staying true to your essence
• Learning that "it's all cake" - people either connect with your work or simply move on
• Building a broader, firmer foundation for your creative life through meaningful connections
