141: Dealing with Traumatic Life Events While Managing Your Career

Creating Your Own Path is a weekly interview series featuring inspiring individuals and change-makers from various creative industries.

In asking others about their journeys, I've found that we creatives often veer off course, forge our own paths and don't always fit a particular mold. We tend to be a multifaceted bunch and this interview series seeks to find common ground among us all. Prepare to be challenged, inspired and motivated.
