Welcome to our thirteenth (our - well Rach’s - lucky number) podcast episode! We're so happy you're here ✨This is a podcast from the perspective of two designers, Kiya and Rach 👩🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💻 Kiya is a Junior Designer and Rach is a Senior Designer/Art Director running her own business.

The girls open with Kiya talking about her initial fear to start a Podcast 😳 Rach is surprised as Kiya generally loves to talk 😂 they both discuss the idea of mental blocks and how this can impact your confidence around certain things 🙅🏽‍♀️

Kiya and Rach appreciate the listeners we have had so far and how much it means to them - they hope they are helping make a difference in your life some way 💕 (let us know!). Both discuss the personable element to Podcasts and how this relates a little to Reality TV.

Rach confesses her love and adoration for the Kardashians 🍑 they discuss the relationship between money and being passionate about what you do. They both commend Kim’s level of influence and how this extends to even the president of the United States, as well as having a say on how their show is edited to the public and fundamentally how their image is presented 💁🏻‍♀️.

How well thought out are the Kardashian’s business moves? Rach highlights how well they spin a bad PR moment into something great. Both speak about their work ethic and how this mentality filters through to where they are today. They briefly touch on how well she did being married to Kanye West #nothanks ⛔️

The girls discuss how confidence and how Rach would also never see herself doing a Podcast - she’s not a big talker 😆 (thankfully Kiya gets a reply from Rach now 😂). Rach speaks to her hyper-focus and how they both establish a ‘zone’ when they are enjoying their work.

Kiya and Rach talk about handling brain fog first thing in the morning and how certain industries need to navigate through this (in the medical industry specifically!) They reminisce about the recent deadline that a client landed on them (a 60 min print-ready job!! 😰) Rach publicly announces how well Kiya handled herself in this stressful situation, whilst Kiya appreciates how far she has come as a junior 🤗.

They compare the difference between humble confidence and arrogance and how there is nothing wrong with knowing you are really really great at your job! ✨

If you relate to any of this, or need any advice or support Rach and Kiya are very open to chatting! Drop us a note in the DM's and they would love to help you were they can https://www.instagram.com/designerduo.studio/ 📱✨
