    Ep 59 - What if you don't wait until you feel ready?

    Back in Spain again for a while, I took my phone down to the beach on Monday morning to test my writing system in a new environment. I had no topic or clear idea what to talk about. And definitely some resistance before I left the house. But I went anyway. In this episode, I’m sharing what happens when you start creating before you feel ready. Before you have anything meaningful to say. I talk about the resistance that shows up (even when we know something works), how momentum is created through imperfect action, and why waiting for readiness can quietly delay creativity. Sometimes the first few minutes feel like rambling. Like mental morning pages. Random observations. But if you stay with it, something shifts. An idea appears. And often, that one small idea is all you need for the week. We also talk about: building momentum through tiny stepscreating a “container” for your creativitybecoming the kind of person who takes actionand treating your work like an experiment instead of a test If you’ve been waiting to feel ready to start something (a podcast, a blog, a creative project) this is your reminder that readiness rarely comes first. Action does. I hope this episode encourages you to take one small, messy step today. And if you’d like help figuring out what that first step could look like for you, I’d love to brainstorm with you. *** Join “3 Days to Create Your Mini Course” here ➡ https://three-days-to-creating-a-mini-course.teachery.co/mini-course-sales-page

    Ep 58 - My new favourite writing system to keep creating without pressure

    In this episode, I’m sharing a gentle writing system I’ve been testing to stay consistent with creating without burning out. Instead of forcing productivity, I’ve been experimenting with a rhythm that feels calm, flexible, and actually doable in real life as a busy parent and creator. I walk you through the simple 5-step process I’ve been trying: generating ideas on morning walks, choosing one weekly theme, turning it into multiple pieces of content, using a 10-minute writing method to overcome resistance, and lightly editing before publishing. I also talk honestly about learning to speak more freely, embracing imperfection, and showing up authentically even when it feels messy. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, pressure, or creative overwhelm, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need more discipline. You might just need a process that supports you. Try it for a week and see what happens. ✨

    Ep 56 - Starting a blog or creative business when you have too many interests

    If you’ve been thinking about starting a blog or an online business using your creative hobbies, but you’re struggling to choose a niche, this episode is for you. You can watch this as a video over here: https://youtu.be/-975Xd9Te90?si=FlDooBx3VmsTLbo2 When I started my blog, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to focus on. I had lots of interests and didn’t want to box myself into just one thing. So I wrote about everything I was curious about: crafts, knitting, sewing, painting, journaling, gardening, recipes, self-care, business, etc. Over time, I noticed two important things: - What I enjoyed creating - What people actually wanted to read and search for In this episode, I talk about: - Whether you really need a niche to start a blog or YouTube channel - How experimenting helped me find what worked - Why being a beginner can actually be an advantage - How a few high-ranking posts can support your entire creative business - A simple brainstorming exercise to help you get started If you’re a multi-passionate creative and want to build a slow, sustainable online business without turning your hobby into something you hate, I hope this encourages you to start. ✨ Grab a notebook and brainstorm along with me ✨ Subscribe for more creative business videos ✨ New episodes coming very soon

    Ep 54 - Why Sometimes the Most Productive Thing Is to Wander

    What happens when you stop trying to be productive and let yourself wander instead? In this episode, I’m sharing a personal reflection from a walk I recorded about a year ago, during a time when my creativity felt unexpectedly blocked. So I did something different. I went for a walk. I talked without a plan. I let myself wander—mentally and physically—and noticed what shifted. In this episode, I talk about: The pressure to always create something useful or polished How forcing structure can sometimes block creativity Why walking helps me think more clearly Experimenting as a creative practice And why wandering isn’t wasted time, but an essential part of the process This is a quiet, honest episode about listening to intuition, trusting your internal signals, and allowing creativity to unfold in its own time. If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired of optimizing everything, or disconnected from your own voice, this episode is an invitation to slow down, step outside, and let yourself wander.

    Ep 52 - The Courage to Be a Beginner Again

    This is a simple story about starting over, being a beginner again, and reconnecting with creativity later in life. In this episode, I talk about picking up the guitar again after playing only occasionally over the last twenty years, and joining a casual sing-along at the beach. I share what it felt like to be rusty, why it was uncomfortable, and how showing up anyway led to one of the most meaningful moments of my trip.
