#114 - No Script, No Filter

Send us Fan Mail We trade perfection for a real-time chat about how our brains and bodies shape creative work, from travel calm to the need for negative space away from screens. Along the way we unpack neurodivergence, boundaries, and why coaching can be the container that helps you hear yourself think. • letting go of perfectionism and choosing honesty over polish • finding calm through slower inputs and solo travel time • Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act and taking notes without screens • creating negative space through walks journalling and reading • bullet journalling and commonplace-style note taking for learning • weight loss support tools and how ADHD affects body signals • intuitive eating curiosity and stepping away from diet culture • discovering aphantasia and rethinking how imagination works • masking boundaries and communicating needs with friends • coaching as a safe container for thinking feeling and change Please reach out to me I love to hear from you Please reach out and let me know what you thought Support the show ☆ other ways to SUPPORT THE SHOW ☆ If you appreciate the free content and the work we put into this podcast, consider showing your support in a way that feels right to you.

#113 - The honest truth about what's waiting on the other side of that free call button

Send us Fan Mail You’ve seen the button. “Book a free discovery call.” And something about it feels a little prickly — like clicking it means you’re walking into a lion’s den with no way out. I used to feel exactly the same way. Now I’m on the other side of it, and I want to invite you in properly. In this short episode I walk through what a discovery call actually is — and what it isn’t. It’s not a sales pitch. It’s not a test you can fail. It’s not a free coaching session. And you won’t leave owing me anything. What it is: a 30-minute real conversation. We figure out where you are, what might help, and whether we’re a match. It goes both ways — I’m figuring out if I can help you, and you’re figuring out if I’m the right person to do that. I also talk about the question I always ask: are you in building mode or survival mode? And I explain the difference between coaching and therapy — including why there’s still space for real emotions in coaching, just not trauma work. If you’re curious, that’s already enough reason to book. You don’t need a plan. You don’t need to prepare. Just show up.

#111 - Building From the Roots Up: PDA, Curiosity, and Running a Business Your Way

Send us Fan Mail I'm getting personal in this episode of Pattern Shift — recorded from my brand new praktijk in Rotterdam. I trace why I bootstrapped from 300 euros, refused investors, never built a conventional team, and kept rebuilding the brand. I name Pathological Demand Avoidance directly and connect it to my lifelong distrust of the ready-made — in business, fashion, and a painting I found on the side of the road last week. From sour puss to happy kitty: on curiosity as the antidote to cynicism, and three questions to find out where you're running on borrowed structure.

#108 - Branding Isn’t A Logo; It’s How People Decide To Choose You

Send us Fan Mail Am I my brand? And does branding even matter when I’m a tiny, one-person creative business? In this episode, I untangle the belief that branding is mostly fonts, logos, and pretty photos, and I lean on Brand the Change to explore branding as direction – a compass for how you show up, what you say yes to, and how people experience your work. I share examples from the knitting world, some brands that randomply popped up in my head and that's saying much in itself (think Stephen West, Rowan, Hedgehog Fibres), talk about my own journey from yarn shop to coaching, and get honest about boundaries, privacy, and starting a YouTube channel without burning myself out. I close with journaling questions to help you see where your branding already shines, and how you can use it as a tool instead of a costume. • Watch the video version on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@pattern-shift Support the show ☆ other ways to SUPPORT THE SHOW ☆ If you appreciate the free content and the work we put into this podcast, consider showing your support in a way that feels right to you.
