This week, we’re talking about tipping points — those moments in life and creativity when you’re ready to give up… or finally get going.

From the BBC’s Riot Women and the lessons it offers about using your voice, to our own battles with perfectionism, songwriting procrastination, and learning new skills we explore how frustration can flip into fuel.

We share how close we came to giving up on our newsletter, what keeps us hanging on, and how “enough is enough” can sometimes be the push you actually need.

Funny, honest, and a little too relatable — this one’s for anyone standing at their own tipping point.

💬 Plus, we’d love your questions for our upcoming season finale — send them in!

This week we talk to creator Becky Burchell about her latest project, Women of the Dark Skies — a nighttime pilgrimage across Cranborne Chase exploring the ancient history of the North Dorset landscape.

We discuss what it means to trust your creative instincts, how nature adds its own unpredictable elements, and why inviting audiences to spend time alone in the dark can be so powerful.

Becky opens up about working outdoors, fear and safety in modern life, and creating profound audience experiences that reconnect people to something deeper. We also chat about authenticity, avoiding the “busy fool” trap, and letting things unfold in their own time.

A reflective and uplifting conversation about courage, creativity, and what happens when you finally let go of control. 🌙

This week we chat with Ruth Woods, creative practitioner and founder of Craft School Oz, about her winding creative journey — from jobs that fuelled her imagination to those that simply paid the bills.

Ruth shares brilliant insights into running a creative business, the balance between creativity and admin, and how social media can be a friend (not a foe) for makers. We also talk about her self-publishing success, her new workshops on getting your own book out there, and the importance of doing it now — at any age.

An inspiring listen for anyone who’s ever said, “I’ll start when…”
