February 14, 2022 12: Morgan Rapp's Creative Life
Hey, and welcome to This Creative Life - conversations with creatives on creativity and how can cultivate, inspire and nourish our creative souls.

Today is a big one - I chat to Morgan Rapp, designer, design educator and business coach, based in Salt Lake City, Utah about - well quite frankly, everything. We don’t hold back. Morgan shares so openly about her creative life - from defining self and creative worth and how vital self-compassion is in your business, to her experiences of society’s perceptions of a successful female business owner crushing the gender norms, along with the juggle and struggles as a working mum and human as a whole in a time we’re all trying to navigate online. There are so many golden bits of advice in this one, so get your journal’s out and let’s get into it.
