Another Kreative Podkast
Welcome to Another Creative Podcastbecause apparently the internet needed another podcast hosted by a creative person :)I'm Janelle, a girl in her late twenties trying to figure out life one existential crisis at a time. Each week, I share honest stories and conversations about creativity, mental health, personal growth, pursuing dreams, random thought and navigating the messy in-between seasons of life. Think of this less like a podcast and more like a long voice memo from a friend who's probably asking the same questions you are.
