If you're told enough times that you're not creative, you're going to start believing that. That's what happened to Kelsey McCormick, until she went on maternity leave when her son was born, and she couldn't bear the thought of going back to her previous job. Kelsey shares how she started to reclaim her creativity, launch a new business and build a life with more freedom.
