Lauren Spangler’s biggest creative boom came when she had LESS time than ever. But even though the timing was a little off, she was able to use this experience to redefine her relationship with her creative side.

After facing creative burnout, Lauren pivoted her career from being a musician and artist to a desk job as strategist. It wasn’t until years later, when she was up nursing her newborn that creativity stuck again. Lauren joins me on Creativity: Uncovered to share her story about how she was able to get back her creative spark.
