The inspiration I have been looking for

I've just discovered your wonderful podcast and been bingeing it like a boxset.

Thank you so much for such amazing inspiration that speaks to my soul. Mindset is often the thing that holds me back and this podcast is just what I have been looking for, to gently move me forward in my creative journey. Highly recommend to any creatives.

A breathe of fresh air for illustrators

I discovered this podcast only recently and I love it SO much! Shirlee speaks so honestly about the struggles, doubts, fears I have about myself and my journey as a ‘new’ artist/ business owner. It’s a real breath of fresh air. After each episode, I always feel less alone, encouraged and inspired to follow my dreams. I love how the take aways are summed at the end of each episode. I’ve been writing them down in a notebook to look back on. Thank you so much for creating this little gem of a podcast!
