Rachael’s book is stuffed with nuggets of wisdom, practical exercises, and tangible examples that will help you transform your mind, your creative practice, your LIFE into the one you’ve dreamed of living. It’s a book you will devour on the first read, and return to again and again.”

–Lauren Hom, Designer, Muralist, Co-host of Chaotic Creatives @homsweethom“With refreshing enthusiasm, Rachael Renae offers up her first book Prioritize Play as an invitation for us to investigate the many-layered process of authentic creative expression. Renae leads us down an illuminated path of permission, guiding us into self-exploration with a unique, bright energy that is both silly and supportive, simple and expansive. She reminds us that no matter our age, daily life can be a fun experiment filled with color and curiosity. With her generous reflections and exercises, Renae affirms that we all inherently carry our own wacky sparkle of artistry that is meant to be shared.”

Whether you read the book cover to cover, or just pick it up to get a shift in perspective and mood, Rachael’s innovative exercises, real-life-application, and researched based prompts are GOLD! “–Alison Faulkner, Author of You’re Already Awesome @thealisonshowAbout The Author
