Join host Jeni Wren Stottrup each week to reconnect to your bad creative self. We'll dive into the mindset of creation, and how we got stuck in the first place, from the way media shapes us to how habits are formed. Each week we'll introduce you to the mindsets, technologies and practices to help you reignite your my passion for your content or art, take control, and find the confidence to live the life you always wanted.
