2022/03/17

Do you think you may have found your voice but you're just too close to the work to see it? Or is it because you're emerging that you automatically assume you don't have a voice yet? Could it be that your work needs a more consistent practice to fully develop into a unique + elevated offering? Spoiler Alert: you might already have the answer on how to find your voice, but you're looking outside for reassurance and validation.
