10 TIPS FOR PUTTING YOUR CREATIVITY FIRST!

If you’ve ever entertained the idea of a creative career or wanted to pursue a creative interest but put the dream aside in favour of a more sensible path, I’m inviting you to rethink your decision . Claiming your creativity doesn’t mean you need to turn it into business or even a side hustle – simply saying yes to a part of you that has lay dormant can transform how you show up in the world, give you a sense of fulfilment and consequently change your life.

5 TIPS FOR CREATING A KICK-ASS BRAND WHILST STAYING TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE

Have you ever considered starting your own brand? Recently on the podcast I was joined by THE most rock ‘n’ roll friend I know, Gemma Fryer from Geoff Leopard!

Here are 5 tips you can implement into creating your own kick-ass brand whilst staying TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE

STOP FILLING YOUR TIME, CREATIVITY NEEDS SPACE TO SHINE…

“It is from the empty spaces that the future begins in moments of creative insight, where our world is re-patterned in an instant: where we are no longer able to think what we thought before and where we see a new way of leaping forward. You are now here.”

This landed in my inbox this week from NoWhere Group. Isn’t it beautiful?

WHY I LOVE PROFESSIONAL TROUBLE-MAKERS…

I have to tell you something. I’m in love with professional trouble-makers. Not the hooligan kind that disturbs and disrupts maliciously, solely for their own entertainment. No, I’m talking about the good guys, the rebels leading with kick-ass kindness who are changing the game for the rest of us…

DO YOU MAKE (ENOUGH) MISCHIEF?!

I sure don’t.

(Yet).

But for some reason I can’t explain, over the last few years of soul-searching, of looking for a purpose and trying to make sense of who I am, I keep coming back to this one word: MISCHIEF.

LIFE IS A BLANK CANVAS…

…AND YOU GET TO CHOOSE THE COLOURS.

The shading is up to you, the marks you leave are your legacy so what are you going to do with it? We don’t need to be artists to create a work of art.

I knew it had been a while since I last blogged but I was shocked when I realised it was 5 months ago. I had been doing so well at balancing regular blog posts with looking after my son and studying for my social media course but then somehow I fell off the wagon (not for the first time). I’m not sure what happened. I got sucked into social media, via Digital Mums, I kind of ran out of ideas for things to write about here and raising a hyperactive toddler became distinctly more tricky than looking after the sleepy, immobile baby I had grown to know!
