EP.99 It's Time to Step into Your Brilliance

Hey again! In this episode, I share my journey over the last few years of overcoming self-doubt and more recently, stepping into my "brilliance" as a business owner.

I also reveal how I'm launching my new course, ContentFLOW, designed to help women in business create content with ease and joy!!

Key topics I explore in this ep:

• The huge amount of stuff I created over the years and WHY I've been inspired to create even more.

• Why I'm learning to embrace my "brilliance" and celebrate my achievements instead of constantly doubting myself.

Hope you enjoy!

EP98: Figuring Out Who You Are (and Want to Be) in Your Life + Business

Welcome back to the Creative Goddess Show!

Today we're diving into the (somewhat challenging) journey of discovering who you are and who you aspire to be in both your personal life and business.

In this noisy online world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by outside voices telling us who we should be. Join me as I share my personal experiences and insights on how to navigate these challenges, including the struggle to balance my social media relationship, while staying true to myself.

We'll also explore the importance of being kind to ourselves with the understanding that we're all on a unique journey towards becoming the person we desire to be.

Whether you're a business owner, parent, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, this episode will offer you some advice and encouragement.

Enjoy 💜

EP97: What do you actually enjoy doing (aside from your business)?

There... I said it! 👀

How does it feel? Is it bringing up any feelings? If so, sit with them, because this question definitely made me think.

Sometimes as business owners, we get so consumed in our work and overall business dreams, that when we step back and ask ourselves what we enjoy doing, we find it hard to answer!

In this episode, I share:

• How all-encompassing business can be for creatives, whilst juggling family life and "you" time

• A BIG revelation I had personally about reconnecting with forgotten creative joys - do you enjoy this too? Listen in for the big reveal.

• How you can start to carve out time for activities that enrich your life and rejuvenate your creative spirit - if you don't know where to start...

#95 How to Fight Back When you Feel Like You're Never Going to Figure it Out

Hey! It's been a loooong hiatus from the Creative Goddess Show since we moved to Australia 🇦🇺

But I'll spare the details for another time!

Today I'm talking all about how to navigate those times when you feel like you're never going to figure "it" out.

I think feeling like that is much more common than we think, don't you agree?

Hope you enjoy the episode 💜

EP87: Change is scary but powerful

Howdy! Apologies for the 2 week break.

Recently I noticed a few "memories" come up on my Facebook and they were 3 very different experiences from 2020, 2021 and 2022.

It showed me how much has changed in the last 3 years.

But also reminded me how uncertain things felt at the time and how scared I was feeling about change.

Listen to find out what these 3 scenarios were and why I think change is healthy, plus what I think we can learn from it.

EP79 - The Real Reason Why I started this Podcast

This week I'm continuing my dip into the topic of podcasting, and I wanted to share a more personal perspective.

Starting a podcast has numerous well-known benefits but my reason for starting in the first place was not exactly... business-focused or super strategised. There was something much deeper and unresolved at play! And that's OK.

We all have our own reasons for starting new ventures and just because it isn't what others deem to be the "right" reason, it doesn't mean your reason isn't valid or important.

EP.73 - Why you NEED to create a planner

I owe a lot to planner creation, a firm favorite of all the creative outlets I have dabbled in over the years.

The process has helped me to learn new skills, experience personal growth, and help others at the same time by sharing systems that I use in my life.

That is the beauty of planners - no two are the same and they all have unique quirks personal to their creator.

Listen to this episode to find 4 reasons why you need to create a planner if you haven't done so already!

_________________ 💡 

In this episode, I ask you to ignore perfectionism and just flipping go for it. Create the planner you feel inside you. Let your creative magic flow.

EP.72 - Realising your inner strength 

Hello, lovely listener! I Hope 2023 is serving you well :)

It's been a while since we last spoke - just before Christmas festivities last year. 

As you may know, I was due to have my baby girl in January... and I did!  She made an appearance (I genuinely thought it would never happen). 

The last 8 weeks have been a cocktail of learning, an emotional rollercoaster if you will. Any fellow mums listening, you will know what I mean!

I have had a lot of time to reflect on my birth and post-partum experience - it has helped me to realise how strong I TRULY am.

But this is not just about motherhood... many other of my life experiences have reminded me of this strength. Leaving my corporate job, starting a business etc.

_________________ 💡 

In this episode, I ask you to take a moment to reflect on what you've overcome in your past. Remind yourself how far you've come!

You are so STRONG - you don't even know it. 

Never forget this fact. It is a key part of your path to empowerment!

Newsflash!!!

You already have the confidence. It just hasn't been tapped into yet or channeled through the best method for you.

(Imagine me in a busy shopping centre on the mic pretending to be '03 Avril Lavigne)

Listen to this episode to find out how creativity has helped to boost my confidence at times when:

• I was the "shy" one at school
• I was worrisome at work

EP. 63:   3 Things You Need to Know About Limiting Beliefs

📣 >>>> TODAY'S EPISODE <<<< 📣

This week I'm talking about a topic that interests me a lot, especially as I've recently qualified as an NLP Practitioner. 

That topic is Limiting Beliefs, my friend - and we all have 'em.

One of my key aims in Creative Goddess Club is to help you to release negative or limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, stopping you from living the life you desire. Aka - the life you DESERVE.

So in this podcast episode I'd like to start with helping you to become aware of any limiting beliefs you might have, by sharing 3 things you need to know about them.  Tune in to find out!

EP. 62:  Let Go of the Shoulds and Hustle: Choose to create your own version of balance

📣 >>>> TODAY'S EPISODE <<<< 📣

This week I felt the need to talk about the topic of creating balance in your life. It's hugely important that everyone allows themselves to be HUMAN and understand that we need connections, relationships, joy... basically a life outside our creative businesses.

It really frustrates me when I see these posts online saying "if you want to be successful you can't watch Netflix" or shaming people for wanting to see their friends, saying they "don't want it enough" if they're not constantly working around the clock. 

I believe in working hard to achieve your goals, but this can look different for everyone and it's not a "one size fits all". 

We are not ROBOTS!! 🤖

So, be sure to tune in to hear about how I believe you can create balance and make working "work" for you 💁🏼‍♀️

EP.61.  5 Cliché Pieces of Advice That Have Helped Me Stay on Track

Hello! I thought it would be fun to do things a little differently this week, with a reflective episode sharing the greatest pieces of advice I've received on my creative business journey. Of course, it was tricky to narrow them down into a condensed few - so I will be doing more of these!

📣 >>>> TODAY'S EPISODE <<<< 📣

I'm sharing with you 5 pieces of advice that have helped me so so much on my creative business journey. Although they are a liiiittle cliché - they are still pure gold and will never get old (rhyming is my jam).

So, make sure you tune in to hear what they are and how such a simple group of words can help you really put things back in perspective 👁

And don't forget to write these down on some post-it notes and stick them at your desk / bathroom mirror to remind you. Maybe even have fun with it and put them in a jar, taking one out every week to focus on?

EP. 60:  There is more than one path available to you

Hey there!  I'm back after my trip to Italy and feeling super inspired by my surroundings.

I am however sooo ready to continue sharing my words of wisdom with you in this wonderful space we have here.

📣 >>>> TODAY'S EPISODE <<<< 📣

Today I wanted to share a message inspired by my recent travels - where we decided to take a step back from the "travel blogger" + "bucketlist" mentality and:

• Explore at our own pace (none of this cramming in every attraction possible!)
• Stop feeling the pressure to visit somewhere because it's "highly rated" and a "must see"
• Approach our visits from a place of JOY and what we love doing (even if that is eating pistachio cream croissants in bulk!)

On reflection I felt that parallels can be drawn between the above and building a creative business ⚡️

Maybe we can learn some lessons from this as we navigate our paths and remain strong in our efforts to dodge the "hype" recommendations?

EP58:  How to Move Forward When You Feel Stuck in a Place of Fear + Uncertainty

EP57. Creativity & Social Labels: They Take Seconds to Attach but a Lifetime to Remove (With Diane)

Hello there! After a brief hiatus last week following on from the sad news of our Queen's passing, I am back again for another episode of this beloved podcast.

This week I thought I would return with another guest episode, inviting the lovely Diane Lindemann (aka The Business Strategist) on the show. We connected earlier this year through FEA and I just love her energy!

Here's a little info about Diane:

A Business Strategist with a belief that success lies in the convergence of strategy, heart and soul!

I don’t believe in cookie cutter strategies!

I've honed my skill over years working across multiple industries and let me tell you this - cookie cutter doesn't work!!

What does work is working with an expert who uses their skillset to give you practical and tactical solutions for your business with an almost guaranteed ROI. Why almost - let’s face it, nothing is guaranteed!

So if you're looking for someone who has an ability to reach into their experience toolkit and work alongside you on your path to success, I'm your 'girl'

The topic for this episode surrounds creativity and the various labels we can find attached to ourselves - usually formed in childhood based on other people's perceptions of us. So whether we are the "academic" one, "sporty one, "creative" one... this can impact how we see ourselves and the decisions we make going into adult life.

EP56: Giving Yourself Permission to Pause + Reflect

Ever feel like you're throwing spaghetti at the wall? Like you're doing ALL the things but seeing very little traction? Oh, and you're actually not getting any enjoyment out of these things too... 

Sounds like it's time to pause and reflect! 

Tune in to my words of wisdom when it comes to taking a breather in your creative business, so you're working less IN it and viewing it more from an outside perspective. Trust me, it's good for you 🙃  Sometimes it can feel tough to accept when things need changing, but in the long run it's always better to have had that "conversation" with yourself when flying solo in this crazy entrepreneurial world.
