    02 ~ From ideation to creation with Anna Dunleavy

    Hello and welcome to the Brand Seasons podcast with me, Sarah Robertson.
    In this first conversation of the series, creative business coach and wedding photographer Anna Dunleavy joins me to dig into the season of sowing. Together, we explore:
    taking the first steps towards our goals and planscreating a podcast and our fears of public speakingkeeping ideas to ourselves vs releasing them into the wild
    We also touch on generating ideas, and Anna shares her thoughts on movement and nature in supporting cognitive and creative functioning and processing.
    Find Anna on Instagram and Substack, and learn more about her creative business coaching practice and wedding photography business. You can also find her on Instagram and Substack.
    In our discussion, I mentioned a quote about protecting our ideas to preserve their energy. While I can't recall the exact words or their origins, the idea is simply that it can be helpful to keep some thoughts sacred until they feel safe enough to share.
