We also dive into imposter syndrome, failure, community, and the importance of trusting yourself instead of constantly looking outside of yourself for answers.BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN:Practical ways to quiet the noise, overcome overwhelm, and reconnect with your ideasWhy failure isn't something to fear and how to reframe it as part of the processWhy creativity is so much bigger than art, design, or being "naturally creative"If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!ABOUT HEATHER:Heather Ebanks is a Graphic Designer and the host of the Creatively Eccentric Podcast—a platform for bold voices, messy journeys, and zero apologies. She explores what happens when creatives stop trying to fit into systems that were never designed for them and start defining success on their own terms.Through raw, reflective conversations, Heather amplifies unconventional and underrepresented creators—diving into the realities of rejection, reinvention, and building a creative life that doesn’t follow the rules. Her work supports women who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or “too much,” helping them realise those very traits are their advantage.At its core, Creatively Eccentric is about embracing uniqueness, challenging expectations, and proving that there is no single way to be a creative—or to succeed.LINKS YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO CHECK OUT:Connect with Heather on Instagram or LinkedInCheck out Heather's websiteListen to Heather's podcastFind out more about and sign up for Boss Your Socials ClubCONNECT WITH BECCI:Connect with Becci on Instagram, LinkedIn or FacebookJoin Becci's email communityIF YOU LOVED THIS, YOU'LL ALSO LOVE:The truth about imposter syndrome and self doubt, with Laura BremnerEPISODE TRANSCRIPTTap to downloadThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
