Ep. 47: Can You Really Go From Doom Scrolling to Joy Scrolling?
Tired of endless, draining Instagram scrolling?
What if you could flip the script and use social media for joy, genuine connection and useful inspiration? Which maybe you did once feel about the photo sharing app Instagram and still do from time to time meaning there's a glimmer of hope!
I'm diving deep into the "doom scroll," exploring its addictive hooks—infinite feeds, aspirational content, and fleeting Stories encouraging frequent check-ins to avoid missing out — and how they impact us.
Discover how to shift your approach, reframing Instagram for real connection and creativity.
Learn practical strategies to cultivate a "joy scroll": intentional curation, mindful engagement, joyful content creation, and prioritizing offline joy.
Join me to transform your social media experience and reclaim your creative energy.
Take one small step: unfollow a draining account, and follow one that inspires.

Ep. 46: How to Stop the Juggle: Embrace Your Own Cycle
Are you a creative professional struggling to balance your creative passion with the demands of running a business?
In this episode, learn practical tools from creative sales coach Leona Howard (not Baker - I got married, reminds self!) to cultivate your business on your own terms without the feelings of guilt or overwhelm.
Discover how working with your own life cycles can mirror the retail cycle.
See what you can actually get done when you allow yourself to put things down and pick them up again at your own pace rather than trying to keep all the balls in the air at once.
We talk about getting it done and improving it later - anyone who wants to make that banner for me please do let me know!
Finally, I share my fresh cyclical approach to my own business and how you could leverage that idea for yourself to bring more peace and pro-activity.
