Episode 148: Merging Social Justice, Mental Health & Art to Build A Dream Job That Makes An Impact with Anna Olinova

I’m working on when to fight for the injustices I see, when to be a perfectionist, when to get it done, and when to just take a walk.
— Anna Olinova

One of the hardest roles to fill on any team is a graphic designer who gets you and your brand. I feel so lucky to have today’s guest, Anna Olinova, on my team as my graphic designer. Not only is she a great artist, she cares and is committed and asks “Why” as much as I do. She’s also a tremendously powerful lady in her life as she’s evolving from freelance graphic designer to art therapist so she can support the social justice causes that matter to her by bringing healing arts to those communities. Get ready as we talk about all things from immigrating to a new country, being different, and even being overwhelmed with how much work there is to do in the world.
