How can you be more creative? As women, we can embrace our femininity by being creative, but unlocking this creativity can be a challenge if you do not let yourself be curious and overcome the fear of failure.

On this week's episode, Katherine interviews Alexa Phillips. Alexa is a writer, brand marketing strategist, and multi-passionate creative.

With almost a decade of marketing and writing experience, Alexa has worked with enterprises, startups, and creative entrepreneurs to build and grow their brands. She is the founder of Bright Eyes Creative, a Seattle-based consultancy and media company that helps consumer brands and creatives design brand experiences & media.

She is also the author of Creatives Anonymous, a weekly newsletter that explores what it means to be a modern-day creative through essays, interviews, and commentary. 

You can connect with her on LinkedIn, Threads, and Instagram.
