   💬 'Are You On Brand'

   Hello! I’d like to start by apologising for the terrible picture quality on my side, no idea what happened there, as it did NOT look like that during the live! Also for my recent inconsistencies with these ‘live’ chats. I have tried really hard to stick to a regular schedule, I don’t know why I find it so difficult! 🤦🏽♀️ Please Note: This chat was recorded on Substack ‘Live’ on 23rd June 2026 Anyway, you may or may not have noticed/give a shit that I did NOT in fact speak to Helen Morris (https://open.substack.com/users/104004012-helen-morris?utm_source=mentions) last week (Tuesday 16th June), as stated in my last one of these posts. I can’t even tell you why now, but I can only assume I was contending with yet another migraine or fatigue/kid’s demands or something like that. I will endeavour to book Helen back in because I would really like to chat to her. ☺️ My Guest This Week My ‘live’ chat this week was with the lovely Fliss Lee (https://open.substack.com/users/9655239-fliss-lee?utm_source=mentions) - Brand Coach and Strategist, and Founder of Honest Folk (https://www.honest-folk.com/about) - “helping you bridge the gap between where you are now, and the next level of your business, whatever that looks like for you.” “Honest Folk exists to demystify the world of “brand”, join the dots that are in your head, and help you lean into what makes you, ‘you’.” I discovered Fliss through her online community - On Brand (https://www.honest-folk.com/on-brand) - “A space for creative business owners to regularly work on their business, with structure, support, and momentum behind you.” 💬What We Chatted About * Breaking away from the “shoulds” when it comes to running our own businesses * Why creative careers aren’t viewed and respected as “proper” jobs * The importance of HUMAN creativity and the feelings behind our ideas/designs * How Fliss went from corporate employment to running her own business * The importance of community and connection with other creatives * The value of the support and accountability within a community * How working on your own can become very lonely and isolating * Fliss’ experience and opinions of Substack so far (being relatively new here) * Why sharing our “shit bits (https://evalydon.substack.com/i/196036464/the-sht-bits)” is so important in combating comparison * The balance between your creativity and business being side-by-side * Why trying new things isn’t a waste of time and doesn’t mean your failing * How your branding needs to be fluid and grow with you and your business * Some great ‘top tips’ from Fliss and why your ‘brand vision’ is key to your marketing messaging!

   💬 'Talking All About YOU! 📚

   Hello! So… I got myself in a bit of spin about this one, thanks to all the promo building up to this week’s episode. When I started marketing it as a bit of a “pinch me” moment (having Toni Jones (https://open.substack.com/users/42470594-toni-jones?utm_source=mentions) as a guest), I started getting all anxious and nervous about it and putting WAY too much pressure on myself! 🤦🏽♀️🥴 Please Note: This chat was recorded on Substack ‘Live’ on 12th May 2026 I even broke my own rules of the ChatStack model - minimal planning, a very loose structure and just a casual chat! Forgetting that Toni is someone I’ve had many chats with before and is a friend, who just happens to be publishing a book. Old anxiety and insecurity habits crept in and I went all silly and “star struck”. 🫣 Anyway, Toni was fab and I soon relaxed into it… even though my brain forgot how to form sentences at times and many, many words seemed to have disappeared entirely! Does anyone else get like that? About My Guest Toni Jones (https://open.substack.com/users/42470594-toni-jones?utm_source=mentions) is a journalist turned bibliotherapist (https://thebibliotherapists.substack.com/) and the founder and editor of ‘The Shelf Help Clubhouse’ (https://shelfhelpclub.substack.com/) – The world’s first dedicated self-help book club - designed to support you in reading, reflecting and applying self-development. Over the past 10 years, Toni has read over 1000 self-help books, interviewed hundreds of authors and wellbeing experts. Including Gretchen Rubin (https://open.substack.com/users/6355903-gretchen-rubin?utm_source=mentions), Hal Elrod | Author + Speaker (https://open.substack.com/users/266491686-hal-elrod-author-speaker?utm_source=mentions), Dr David Hamilton and Ella Mills (https://open.substack.com/users/106720155-ella-mills?utm_source=mentions) (Deliciously Ella). All of which has now led to her to writing her debut book, YOU – “The Beginner’s Guide”. ‘YOU (https://www.poundproject.co.uk/you)’ is a bite-size guide that distils the most valuable lessons from a decade spent immersed in the self-development space. Toni has developed a brilliant three-step framework – the Connected Self MethodTM - which features expert tools designed to help people get to know themselves better and support their journey towards Self-Discovery, Life Design, and Life Support. “Self-help isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about getting to know yourself and then designing a life that fits” – Toni Jones Thank You Thank you so much to everyone who tuned into ChatStack ‘Live’ and apologies for not managing to invite questions in the end… we just had too much to talk about! The time went too quickly but we managed to cover a lot of juicy topics during our time together. Thank you Toni for being a fabulous guest and for supporting me through my wobbles and helping feel more at ease. 💛 See you next time! This is a public episode.

   💬 'Finding ways to work WITH your neurodivergent brain, that also support your nervous system'♥️

   Hi! Can I start by saying that I apologise upfront for the enormous amount of ‘hair play’ and nail biting from me this week. I have no idea what that was all about, I can only assume I had some pent up energy and was therefore being a total fidget bum! 🫣 P.s. If you stick around right to the end there’s a delightful “old person” fuck-up to enjoy, as I try to END the video! 🫣🤣 Please Note: This chat was recorded on Substack ‘Live’ on 28th April 2026 My Guest This Week The lovely Allegra Chapman (she/her) (https://open.substack.com/users/120664093-allegra-chapman-sheher?utm_source=mentions) kindly jumped in at very short notice and joined me on this week’s ‘Live’ chat - Thank you Allegra! 🙏🥰 Allegra is an author, columnist, former publishing editor and creative therapy practitioner. Her publication and membership on Substack is Creative Fix (https://yourcreativefix.substack.com/). “A creative sanctuary, where you can discover ways to use writing, art and crafting for healing, self-expression and connection.” 💬Our Chat I really enjoyed my impromptu catch up with Allegra and we dived straight into lots of juicy topics such as, the importance of valuing our unpaid work, parenting and our creative pursuits. How hopping around from one project to another isn’t failure and how recognising that sometimes it’s the process we need and not the finished result. I was interested to hear how Allegra discovered ways to develop her creative practice that supports her brain and nervous system and works WITH her needs, rather than constantly fighting against herself. How she went from “I can’t do this” to writing three books and making a living as a writer. Her new book Divergent Creatives (https://yourcreativefix.substack.com/p/divergent-creatives-the-book) is out now - which Allegra describes as, “The guidance, reassurance and confidence boost I wish someone had given me 20 years ago.” Breaking down the limiting beliefs that our culture teaches us about creativity and differences. We discussed the importance of recognising and accepting how our brains work differently and the book includes practical tips on building a creative habit that actually works for you, instead of trying to follow someone else’s blueprint. ⭐️Bonus Content (not in the recording) Working With Our Energy We briefly talked about the importance of working with our energy and checking in with our capacity - being flexible, self-compassionate, kinder, not pushing ourselves too far and breaking the vicious cycle of burnout. Which of-course led me to mention Selina Barker (https://open.substack.com/users/15212305-selina-barker?utm_source=mentions) and her fabulous Journal ‘Time To Thrive (https://projectyoujournals.com/)’ ♥️ Which teaches us how to manage our energy - across the 5 different zones - and use the tools and techniques within the journal to reclaim your energy and build a life in which you can truly thrive! How This Has Helped Me Personally Over the past couple of weeks, whilst I’ve been going through a very challenging and emotional life event, I have felt so lifted and supported by the fabulous people in Selina Barker’s membership (https://anotherwaywithselinabarker.substack.com/)! This gave me the extra strength and motivation I needed to put into practice some of the fantastic tools I’ve learned from the Journal. It has enabled me to pause, notice and recognise which of my energy zones is depleted at any given time... even throughout the chaos and upheaval of such a big life event! 😬 I’ve been able to mindfully notice what specifically drains my energy and make more conscious and measured efforts to refuel that particular area of my wellbeing. This focused approach has helped me to stay connected to my body, prevented me from spiralling into overwhelm and enabled me to make better choices about where to expend my energy… AND to PROTECT that energy and value my overall wellbeing much more than I ever have in the past.

   💬 'The Importance of Wading Through The Sh*t!'

   Hi! We had some technical issues at the beginning my chat with Lisa Bolin 🌸 (https://open.substack.com/users/5401212-lisa-bolin?utm_source=mentions), which resulted in us accidentally going ‘live’ a few minutes early this week - sorry to those who turned up at the usual time of 1pm, but we pushed through. Please Note: This chat was recorded ‘Live’ on Substack on 21st April 2026 My Guest This Week My dear friend Lisa Bolin 🌸 (https://open.substack.com/users/5401212-lisa-bolin?utm_source=mentions) is a teacher, mother, mindfulness mentor and all-round fabulous human! She writes Flucking Flourishing on Substack – “a midlife revolution and the bookend to your teenage years, but with more wisdom, fewer flucks given and better beverages!” I was very much enjoying catching up with Lisa Bolin 🌸 (https://open.substack.com/users/5401212-lisa-bolin?utm_source=mentions) and hearing all about her move (in December 2025) to Australia after spending 8 years living in Finland. However, we then lost connection when Lisa’s phone decided to have a meltdown!! 😭 Unfortunately Lisa wasn’t able to re-join.

    💬 'Discussing The 5 Key Energy Zones & How To Manage Them'

    Hi Everyone! I really LOVED my chat with Selina, who is always a delight to talk to. 🥰 We discussed the importance of turning up ‘as you are’ and not worrying about trying to look or be ‘perfect’. The positive impact this can actually have on, not only our own wellbeing, but of others around us too. Please Note: This chat was recorded ‘Live’ on Substack on 24th March 2026 We chatted about one of Selina’s expert topics - Burn out (https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/burnt-out-the-exhausted-person-s-six-step-guide-to-thriving-in-a-fast-paced-world-selina-barker/4973796?aid=15883&ean=9781783254002&) - and the ways we can prevent it happening, by focusing on the 5 key energy zones, which Selina outlines in her fantastic Journal - Time To Thrive (https://projectyoujournals.com/time-to-thrive-journal). Perfectly timed (as these things often tend to be) as I was feeling really quite “flat” before our chat. It really helped to boost my energy and “fill up my cup”. Reconfirming to me how important it is to turn up and catch up with a friend, even when you feel like crap and just want to hide away from the world. ❤️🩹 Our chat contains many ideas and tips on simple ways we can attend to our different energy zones, depending on our current needs…. and if you want to use the “Emotional Check In Tool” I mention in the chat, you can click HERE (https://70dd0cc0.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u95de66es9h26owgvsqhp0g4g76urhmoemn/25h2hoh392ggqec3/aHR0cHM6Ly9kb3dubG9hZC5maWxla2l0Y2RuLmNvbS9kL2RkSjc5YWF4NGpUOExFZURHVkg3OHkva1BKM0doRmZGVFI3NUEyUjduSHZKVw==).
