Well it's now The Peaceful Creatives Podcast and I can not wait to share more episodes. Why the name change? My own brand went through a big transformation at the end of 2024 in what I like to call my "unbrand"! Taking the two branches o...

Have you ever thought about how we as humans bring so much uniqueness to our businesses - our experiences, our successes, our failures, our skills and struggles, our goals and versions of success... Yet we're often given the same steps to follow to get to where we want to be. As a mentor (and as a designer!), I love to bring more human-ness into the businesses of the designers I work with and I'd...

When it comes to consistency, we're told that this is a MUST DO in business. From consistent marketing (you have to post on Instagram five times a week, you have to create more video content, you have to engage with your audience every day), to showing up consistently (you should be working on your business every week, you should join more programs, you need to work on more passion projects) - we...

I'm back with an episode all about confidence! One of the areas I see as the biggest drain in a designers confidence is IN your projects - getting feedback, waiting on clients, missing deadlines, and desperately wanting your work to be approved. I know this was one of my biggest areas of the old confidence wobbles - until I started working through the tips I'm sharing in this episode! I really hop...

I'm jumping into money chat this week and pairing it with my other favourite topic - confidence! Confidence and money are so wrapped up in each other and it can be so hard to set your pricing, quote your pricing, and raise your pricing, confidently. It sometimes feels like you're just plucking numbers out of thin air, seeing what other people charge and following the lead or even just agreeing to...

This week, I'm talking about a few things you don't have to do in your design business (if you don't want to!) There are so many strategies, tasks, platforms etc that we're told we need to use in our business and I'd love for you to just do the things that work perfectly for you as a creative and a business owner. Just because they work for one person doesn't mean they work for everyone! I really...

In this first episode back, I'm sharing a little story from my week and the analogy I built from it all about consistency and how we hold ourselves back from consistency by making huge plans, comparing ourselves to others or trying to be perfect.

After sharing my own experiences in the last episode, I really wanted to chat about areas you can focus on...

As of this year, I have been running my design studio for ten years (!!), and in that time have managed to build my dream job which has been my most sustainable and secure job so far. We're so often told how working for yourself isn't sustainable and isn't secure that I just wanted to share a few lessons that I've learned in building my business with sustainability, consistency, and joy as my main...

And you may be feeling like something doesn't quite fit right at the moment - if this is the case, you're ready for change. I know change can be scary, but I like to look at it as moving to the next step and evolving your business to g...
