Ever felt like you just want to throw in the towel on your creative business? You’re not alone. From the outside, it can look like everyone else is thriving while you’re stuck in a cycle of exhaustion, doubt, or discouragement. Those feelings are normal, and they don’t mean you’re failing.

This episode is for any creative who’s ever wondered if it’s time to quit, or if there’s still something worth fighting for. Together, we’ll talk about how to step back, reset, and find your spark again, without burning yourself out in the process!

Whether your sales are slow, your energy is flat, or you’re just tired of juggling all the things, this conversation will give you permission to pause, refocus, and build your way forward with more ease through actionable steps.

What we cover in this episode:

• Why feeling like giving up doesn’t mean you’re failing

• The hidden weight of doing everything at once (and how to choose just one focus)

• Simple steps to take if you’re on the brink of quitting

• How reconnecting with your “why” can re-ignite your passion

• • The power of building just one small system to create momentum

  
  

  Today's Takeaways:

  
  

  1. Burnout isn’t a sign you’re not cut out for business - it’s a sign you’re tired.

  2. You don’t need to do everything at once. Choosing one focus area can change everything.

• Sometimes the best way forward is the tiniest step…momentum builds from small wins.

If your content feels a little ‘meh’ lately and your sales have slowed, maybe it’s not you…maybe it’s that your audience is no longer aligned.

Ever poured your heart into a product or offer that you knew was your best work yet…only to be met with tumbleweeds? You’ve posted about it, emailed your list, shared in stories, but the engagement just isn’t there. It might not be your product, your price, or even your marketing. It could be that the person you think you’re talking to…isn’t actually the person you’re meant to be speaking to anymore.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why your ideal customer isn’t a fixed point (spoiler: they evolve just like you do) and how to know if you’ve outgrown the audience you started with. We’ll talk about what happens when your offers or products stop landing, how to check if your audience still matches your ideal customer, and the four grounding questions that’ll help you rebuild your customer profile without all the fluff.

Whether you’re feeling a bit disconnected from your audience or you’re gearing up for your next launch and want to make sure it lands, this episode is your nudge to pause, realign, and reconnect with the people who are exactly right for the version of your business you’re building now.

What we cover in this episode:

• Why your ideal customer isn’t set in stone (and what that means for your business)
• The subtle signs you’ve outgrown your original audience
• How to refresh your ideal customer profile
• Simple ways to audit your audience and get real answers
• Four powerful questions to rebuild clarity and confidence in your messaging

• 
  

Today's Takeaways:

• Your ideal customer evolves as your business (and you!) evolve
• Messaging that connects with the right people feels easier and more energising
• A simple audience audit can save you months of frustration and missed sales

Ever feel like you’re on a content treadmill? You post something thoughtful and strategic…then within hours it’s gone, buried in the scroll? We’ve all been there!

But what if your content could keep working long after you’ve hit publish?

In this episode, we’re diving into the magic of evergreen content. Content that doesn’t disappear after 24 hours, that continues to attract, nurture, and support your audience while you’re off doing other things (like painting, packing orders, or just having a weekend!).

Whether you’re brand new to the idea or ready to take it more seriously, this one’s packed with insight into how to build a business that isn’t dependent on daily posting.

What we cover in this episode:

• What evergreen content actually is
• The three platforms I use to build long-term content
• Real-life examples from my own creative business
• How to repurpose what you’ve already created
• How to start building your own evergreen ecosystem (without burning out)

Today’s Takeaways:

• Evergreen content is slow, sustainable growth, and it adds up over time
• You don’t have to start from scratch, you can stretch what you’ve already made
• You don’t need more content, just smarter content
• Start with one platform that fits you…you don’t have to do it all!

Ever poured your heart into a product, hit publish...and heard nothing but crickets? Well, in this episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about the time I created something I thought was a sure-fire hit (hello, beautifully packaged goodie boxes!)…and sold a grand total of zero.

If you've ever been burnt by a product flop or you’re spinning in a sea of ideas then this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to make sure you’re not just creating from inspiration, but with intention…and with your audience front and centre.

Ever feel like you're putting all your eggs in one creative basket? In this episode, we’re talking about multiple income streams. What they are, how they work, and how to build them in a way that actually supports your energy and goals (not drains them!).

This one's for the creative business owners who’ve been hearing the phrase “multiple income streams” and wondering: “What does that even look like for me?”

In this episode, I’m walking you through ten different income streams that could work beautifully for artists, illustrators, and handmade sellers, from digital products to coaching, commissions to Patreon, YouTube, and more. I’ll give you the real talk on what’s scalable, what’s sustainable, and what’s definitely not for everyone.

You’ll also hear a few stories from my own journey, including what worked, what burnt me out, and what I’d do differently next time. Take what fits, leave what doesn’t, and know that one well-built stream is better than ten leaky ones.

In this episode, we cover:

- How to choose income streams that align with your energy and strengths

- The pros and cons of physical products, commissions, and digital downloads

- What I learned from running (and pausing) a Patreon

- Thoughts on YouTube, brand deals, affiliate marketing and coaching

- Tips for starting small and scaling smart

Today’s Takeaways:

- Building multiple income streams doesn’t mean doing everything, it means choosing the right things for you.

- Physical products, commissions, and markets can be great, but only if they’re built with systems that support you.

- Digital products and memberships can offer freedom, but only if you promote them more than once (hint: automation helps!).

Ever found yourself frantically throwing together an Instagram post or uploading product photos the night before your launch? You’re not alone, but it doesn’t have to be that way! In today’s episode, we’re de-mystifying product launches and walking through how to plan them with more strategy, calm and confidence.

This one’s for you if you’ve ever launched a collection and thought, “I probably should’ve prepped this sooner…” Today we’re talking about how to launch like a pro - without the panic. From pre-launch content to pricing to seasonal planning, you’ll learn how to take your next launch from reactive to intentional.

Launches don’t have to feel overwhelming. With a little prep (and the right systems), they can actually feel…fun!

What We Cover in This Episode:

We’ll chat about why most creative launches feel so last-minute, and the simple mindset shift that can change everything. I’ll walk you through the 3-part framework I use to map, prep and promote my own launches, share a fresh way to approach pricing so it truly supports your business, and we’ll finish by zooming out and looking at how to plan your launch calendar around your natural energy and seasons, not just your ideas.

Today’s Takeaways:

• A strong pre-launch strategy builds excitement before you ask for the sale
• Your email list is your warmest audience - use it wisely
• Your pricing needs to support you, not just your product
• Planning launches seasonally gives you breathing room and flow
