This month we're taking on the big juicy topic of fear and visibility as creatives and business owners and it was a topic that took us in all kinds of directions.

We really hadn't planned to do a final round up of the year but Sarah kind of badgered Carla into it with a very specific reason in mind. The reason being, we both know how tough a year it's been for the both of us, and for many other small businesses and creatives out there. And we wanted to acknowledge that but also take a look at what GOOD stuff has happened to us both this year. We think you'll find this episode pretty cheering and hopefully a...2024-12-2058 minCreative RebootCreative RebootS7, Ep 10: Creative MindsetWe were so wowed by Lorraine (The Painless Piano Coach)'s story from the last episode that we knew we had to talk about our own creative mindset and how we overcame struggles we experienced for our creativity.

So when Lorraine Robinson (otherwise known as The Painless Piano Coach) approached us and told us a little of her story, we knew we needed her to come on and share it all with you, too. Lorraine has been playing the piano since she was a child, and teaching it from a very young age, too. But the thing she loved most was also causing her incredible pain. Thinking she might have to give up doing the thing she loved, she found a teacher experienced...2024-11-2047 minCreative RebootCreative RebootS7, Ep 8: Personal BrandingInspired by last month's glorious episode with Stef Fournier, we decided to talk all about how our own personal brands have evolved over the years in this month's episode and it was quite the chat.

This episode is a direct follow on from last week's episode about inspiration, because, of course, we can't just talk about the good stuff, we have to address the bad and how we can overcome it, right? The word "block" is one of those phrases in the creative world that usually draws a raised eyebrow, a sage nod and a hmmm of understanding. Most...2022-11-2945 minCreative RebootCreative RebootS5, Ep. 14: InspirationConsider this a part one episode if you will... because in this episode we talk about inspiration, what inspires us and how we find inspiration in our every day lives.

So much so, we didn't even really know what to call this episode to start with! As we talked though, we realised we were talking about all those unfinished creative projects we've started and never finished over the years. Not because we don't want to finish them, not because we ran out of time, but maybe because it's just not the right time for them right now. That's just one of our random thoughts anyway.
