Ep 065: [SpringBack Series] Finding your true voice is one of the hardest, but most fulfilling, things you can do in life, with creative & podcaster Rebecca Rowntree

Rebecca Rowntree is a creative director & hosts a podcast telling the stories of women in the creative industries, and the challenges they've met on their way up the career ladder. She talks about how everyone is, obviously, individual but the common thread between many stories is a lack of confidence in finding a voice - something she has personally experienced, too. But, in her opinion, this difficult, but ultimately extremely worthwhile, journey to express yourself truly gives more meaning and connection to your life. However, as she says, there are no shortcuts to doing 'the work' to get there (sorry!). Rebecca really believes that self-discovery and knowledge are key to living a fulfilling, meaningful life and that nurturing your creativity is central to that process. She has many creative strings to her bow from writing stories and drawing in her spare time, to podcasting. Her podcast is called This Way Up and is all about sharing women’s stories of scaling the career ladder in the creative industries.
