    Let Go Of Perfect: Unlock Creativity & Get Stuff Done

    Subscribe to Mamamia Have we always been creative? Well, sort of. In this very special episode, Mia, Holly and Jessie unpack how their MO in life is to harness creativity at work and at home to get stuff done -- while still having fun. Mia shares a story about Mini Mia taking a special bag of clothes to kindy for important outfit changes (who'd have thought it?!). Jessie thanks a teacher who encouraged her writing, despite a tricky problem. And Holly asks if their life MO extended to following the instructions when playing with LEGO® -- or did they go full rogue and make their own creations?
