Join us for fun conversations with women who have turned their passion into a business… about work, life, mental health, and everything in between. We’re Jess & Gwen — branding & website designers and co-founders of Hey Hello Studio. We’ve had the chance to meet some amazing women running successful businesses, and our FAVORITE part of getting to know them is always connecting on the vulnerabilities we all have in common. Things like… how they turned their passion into a full-time gig; staying on top of your mental health; dealing with feeling like an imposter; or just feeling like you’re pulled in a million directions. And a bunch of other stuff. New episodes every other Wednesday! Join the conversation on Instagram: https://instagram.com/seriouslycreativepod

Plus, we dive into our latest venture into semi-custom brands, have a real-time revelation about achieving our goals, and debate whether manifesting is a thing.
