Rachael shares her kaleidoscope of experiences so we each may become confident and skillful guides of our own extraordinary and turbulent journeys through our lives as creatives." * Jo Packham, Editor-in-Chief of Where Women Create * "This book details the highs and the lows, and how to push through those creative challenges, and reminds you that you're not alone! Rachael understands how tricky being a creative can be-because she is one of us!" -- Jay Blades, MBE, TV Presenter, Eco-Designer, and Social Enterpriser "No syllable is wasted in Rachael's valuable, clear guide - it's resource heavy, jargon light, and brimming with ideas to ignite all creative souls." -- Dids Macdonald, OBE Chief Executive - Anti Copying in Design (ACID) "This is a brilliant book and one that all creatives, regardless of their level, can certainly take influence and encouragement from." -- Kieron Lewis, Designer, Adobe Creative Cloud Host, and CreativePro Week Speaker "Rachael's style is personal and warm.
