Get your notepad ready because this interview is packed full of tangible, takeaway tips for your next creative pursuit or business venture. By now you are likely familiar with Create + Cultivate (you know, the company that hosts those impeccably designed, powerhouse packed events featuring entrepreneurs, celebrities, artists and more), but we'd like to introduce you to the woman BEHIND it: Jaclyn Johnson! 

She stopped by Catt's bedroom and talked about it ALL -- from her childhood years in Florida when she was a self-proclaimed "troublemaker," to building a blog in the Internet's early years and catching the attention of fashion magazines like Nylon.

Jaclyn also shares how getting laid off ended up being one of the best things to ever happen to her, and giving us all the inside info on how she turned Create + Cultivate from a side hustle into a flourishing community that's paving the way for women everywhere. Also, she gets extremely candid about a stress-induced breakdown that has continued to change the way she runs her business today.

And, in this episode, Catt shares a touching story about a time that one of her son's supported her career in an unexpected way. She also talks about her compulsion to overthink decisions instead of jumping in, sink or swim.
