Creatives tend to have a lot in common: we have trauma, we are sensitive, and we aren't cut out for 9-5 life. But also? The chemical balance that creates that drive to succeed is the same one that causes us to have mental health issues and autoimmunity. 

In this episode, I talk about running a creative business while living with PMDD, POTS, and MCAS. Success is going to look WILDLY different for me than it does for others, and that's FINE!

Listen to the episode to find out what's working, what I'm letting go of, and what's next for Amy Lollis Design.
