Are you holding yourself back? This week Ginny talks with stARTist and published author, Becky Blades. The two discuss the mental barriers preventing people from being creative, incredible motherly advice, and just doing that thing you want instead of talking about it.

In this episode of KC Leaders, we are overjoyed to be sitting down with Becky Blades. Becky’s career has spanned journalism, public relations, and the arts, and she has played a significant role in shaping the entrepreneurial and artistic landscape of Kansas City.
