Staying Jazzed on Your Creative Journey

Reflecting on past wins and unexpected achievements is such an important practice for chaotic creatives, who are constantly facing change and the unknown. Acknowledging the promises you've kept to yourself can be a great way to build the trust in yourself that is essential when facing new challenges.

Unpacking the B-Word: Personal "Branding" for Multi-Passionates

Episode 9

Monday, August 5, 2024 • Duration 01:06:45

Listener Jen asked a really big question: "How do you easily add different creative projects while keeping it all in one brand? Or do you?" It was such a big question, Lauren and Rachael decided to dedicate an entire episode to unpacking this common creative quandary. For Chaotic Creatives, "following the fun" is a guiding light; but can too many disparate interests transform the fun house into a house of horrors for your audience? Don't worry! The most important tools to building a coherent personal brand are already in your possession.
