232: We're back for another installment of the Creative Genius Playbook. Today's focus? Rest and softness.

In capitalistic structures, being "soft" or taking long periods of rest is considered weak. Today's guest, Isabel Bagsik, is here to bust that myth - once and for all.

Key points:

• The significance of experimenting and not fearing the pivot in our creative processes, of staying true to our values, and of embracing the inevitability of change
• Inner child work and incorporating play into your work
• She offers a variety of accessible practices that can help anyone reconnect with their creative spirit and find joy in their day-to-day life
• How to lean into our interests and curiosities and to trust that as long as we show up with integrity and quality, people will support whatever we create
• Time auditing + creating space in your calendar

If you're ready to hang up your "Girl Boss" jersey, this episode is for you.
