Subscriber-only episode

Creativity isn't always linear - inspiration will come and go, and sometimes our best efforts won't pan out the way we'd hoped. In many ways - both large and small - we'll have to decide if it's worth going further, or if all signs are telling us to change pace.

In today's bonus episode, we're talking about how to recognize whether the signs are telling you to lean in or let go.
