Ep.055 - When is the Right Time to Start Something New?
In this episode I dive into my thought process when it comes to starting something new. If you're anything like me you probably have hundreds of creative ideas but you just never know when the right time is to start them or if you should even start them at all. I draw on my experiences launching my new podcast To Be Wed with my fiancé Emily and speak about how we got that up and running from idea to reality in under a month.

Ep.054 - The Power of Being an Introvert
Introversion is a superpower and in this episode I want to show you why! As someone who has struggled with my identity as an introvert for many years, I am going to take you through some of the strengths that I have found from being a more reflective person. I also discuss how introversion can be even more beneficial for all of you creative people out there and how it can help us take our art and our businesses to another level.
If you enjoy this episode I would really appreciate it if you could share this episode around with a friend who you think would like it as well. Introversion is a topic with a lot of false stereotypes and in a world that is made for extroverts, its more important than ever to make sure we find strength in our identity. I hope this episode can help start a conversation or a moment of reflection for yourself.

Ep.053 - Coming up with Ideas & Getting out of Creative Ruts
We've all been there - in a place where we have no ideas and no inspiration to create anything. Hopefully be listening to this podcast you are getting the inspiration you need but then comes the question of what to do next. Where do you get ideas from? In this episode I reflect on how I come up with Ideas for this podcast as well as Blog Posts and Instagram Captions. I speak about my method of vetting ideas and curating a list of killer content. Plus we also speak Inspiration and how you can look outward to create within.

Ep.052 - Elevate your Business and get more Client Referrals
Referrals are the backbone of my Business and the way they I get over 80% of my new enquiries so you would be silly to ignore them. In this episode I let you in on the two types of referrals that I get in my Business and walk you through how you can get more as well just by changing the way you think about client interactions. It's really not that hard and I hope this episode can be super helpful to all of you!

Ep.051 - Maybe You're Not Good Enough.
Have you ever wondered why you're not getting any leads or enquiries in your Creative Business? You think that maybe you're not doing enough marketing, or maybe your Instagram feed isn't aesthetically pleasing enough or maybe your website has a lot of spelling mistakes. We always jump to these conclusions but have you ever thought that maybe your Product or Service just isn't good enough?
