S01:E10 | Creative Chat with Lindsay Stewart: Making Home, Building Brands, and Finding Your Happy
Manage episode 421057791 series 3432438
We're kicking off the Little Oracles Creative Chats series with writer, artist, designer, entrepreneur, and space-curation creator Lindsay Stewart. Lindsay and I talk about the bitter and the sweet of the creative life: everything from getting through creative slumps, to reframing the ways we talk about who we are and what we do, to how to make a warm and welcoming home (with a little dose of disco).
Follow Lindsay on Instagram @lindsaystewartdotcom. Home IGs she loves: @stephaniemichelle_athome, @theironvictorian.
And, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
