Rachel Smith: on the freedom of not needing everything have to make sense

Rachel Smith is a content designer and artist who runs the Words of Mouth newsletter and Repair Shop.  Rachel shares about how she balances her part-time consulting work for non-profit design agency Civilla with her longstanding newsletter for creatives looking for compelling jobs, and somehow still finds time to run a textile repair shop and sustain her own art practice. We investigate the power of having a unifying thread that ties your work together as a multi-hyphenate person and the times where it’s beneficial to ‘screw the thread’ and just let yourself be free to operate without a pressure to be consistently one thing. Rachel illuminates how creating an offering with a simple structure and resisting the pressure to grow or evolve it can lead to an effective formula for success. ** At the end of the episode Melissa breaks down one of the topics from the conversation and offers up a personal challenge you can try.
