Lauren and Rachael don polka dot funeral garb to put season one to rest and discuss the importance of giving yourself your flowers. 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. Plus, your Chaotic Creative hosts reflect on working together on the podcast and what they look forward to over the break.

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?"

The most important tools to building a coherent personal brand are already in your possession.
