    E104: Why the Invisible Work in Your Creative Business Matters

    Send us your feedback Running a creative business often looks beautifully polished from the outside.  A new class appears, a newsletter lands in your inbox, a product launches or a finished collection is shared—but what about all the thinking, practising, planning and problem-solving that happened behind the scenes? In this reflective solo episode, Delores shares what returning from a family camping holiday taught her about rest, creativity and the invisible work that keeps a creative business moving.  From practising hand lettering beside the lake to reconsidering ideas for her upcoming Five Card Challenge, she explores why unfinished projects, changed plans and quiet thinking time are never truly wasted. In this episode, Delores talks about:  Why creating without a commercial purpose still matters  The hidden preparation involved in taking time away from a creative business  What working with a creative team actually looks like  Why successful businesses aren’t perfectly organised every day  How stepping away can help you ask better questions  Why abandoned ideas and unfinished work still have value  The relationship between rest, clarity and creativity  Building a business around real life—not the other way around If you’ve been measuring your creativity only by what you finish, publish or sell, this episode is a gentle reminder to recognise all the valuable work nobody else sees.  Listen to the episode, share it with a creative friend who might need the reminder and support.  Support the show  Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!

    E103: Beyond Social Media: Build an Audience You Can Actually Reach

    Send us your feedback What would happen to your creative business if Instagram suddenly stopped showing your work, your Etsy traffic dropped or your account disappeared into the algorithm abyss? Social media can still be brilliant for helping new people discover your art, products and ideas—but it was never designed to carry the full weight of your business. In this solo episode, Kaylie explores how artists, handmade sellers, digital creators and creative educators can build a calmer, more resilient marketing system that doesn’t depend entirely on constantly posting. She introduces a simple three-layer visibility system. You’ll also hear practical examples of how this system can work for artists, makers, digital product sellers and creative educators—without building a complicated funnel or trying to be everywhere at once. Take Kaylie’s free two-minute quiz to discover how exposed your business may be to an algorithm change and receive one clear recommendation for what to strengthen next: https://spellweavercreativestudio.co.uk/borrowed-vs-owned-quiz/ If this episode helps you look at your marketing differently, follow the podcast, leave a review or share it with another creative business owner.

    E102: How Hannah Nunn Turned Nature-Inspired Art into a Thriving Product Business

    Send us your feedback What does it really take to build a creative business that lasts for more than 20 years without losing the joy that made you start? In this episode of The Creative Juggle Joy Podcast, Kaylie is joined by artist, designer and maker Hannah Nunn.  From her studio in Hebden Bridge, Hannah creates nature-inspired paper-cut lighting, botanical wallpaper, decorative window film, journals and delicate laser-cut treasures. Hannah shares how her business began with handmade paper-cut cards, why she eventually moved away from products that weren’t financially sustainable and how one idea led to another—from lighting and wholesale relationships to opening a gallery, designing wallpaper and building a product range rooted in the natural world. This is also an honest conversation about burnout, rebuilding after a devastating studio fire, creating a business around your energy and choosing a definition of success that doesn’t rely on endless growth. If you’re building an art, handmade or digital creative business and wondering how to grow without turning it into something you no longer enjoy, this conversation offers plenty of honest encouragement.

    E101: What Creative Business Growth Really Looks Like Behind the Scenes

    Send us your feedback What does creative business growth actually look like behind the sales figures, launches and exciting announcements? In this episode, Kaylie and Delores take you behind the scenes of Delores Art during the launch of Mastering Surface Pattern Design in Affinity Designer.  They share how consistent email marketing, connected offers, better systems and years of experimenting helped Delores grow her email list from around 1,742 subscribers to more than 12,500. They also talk honestly about the less visible side of growth: customer support, replay requests, coupon problems, technology mishaps, late-night emails, busy launch seasons and the recovery time that needs to come afterwards. Kaylie also reflects on what quieter growth has looked like inside her own business through client work, skill building, creative projects and getting her first greeting card onto Card Isle. Whether you’re an artist, handmade seller, creative educator or digital creator, this conversation will help you recognise the progress happening underneath the surface of your business. Listen to the episode and let us know: are you currently experiencing visible growth, or are you in a quieter foundation-building season?
