inspired by the lovely jenna palek, today we're talking about how to have fun on weekdays: creative style. rest and fun are both crucial for creatives and even if it feels silly to pencil into your calendar, it truly is a form of self-care.

nicole is a senior marketing strategist at a marketing agency and (not-so-formally) holds the title of queen of fun. she understands how important it is to pace out your work week with the things you enjoy most in life, which to her are: spending time with friends, keeping up with pop culture, music and cycling. in this episode, she opens up about how she enjoys her free time, and how her definition of "fun" has changed throughout her twenties so far.
