Creative Reboot

Welcome to a new season of the Creative Reboot podcast! It's season 8 and our 5th year of chatting about all things creative. We start this episode outlining what this season is going to look like before we dig into our special interest topic (hello neurospiciness!)... NOTEBOOKS! Turns out we have a lot to say about this modest form of capturing thoughts and ideas and we can't wait to share it with you. Let us know if this is a nerd out topic for you too!

Surprise! It's a bonus episode! That's right. We really hadn't planned to do a final round up of the year but Sarah kind of badgered Carla into it with a very specific reason in mind. The reason being, we both know how tough a year it's been for the both of us, and for many other small businesses and creatives out there. And we wanted to acknowledge that but also take a look at what GOOD stuff has happened to us both this year. We think you'll find this episode pretty cheering and hopefully a little bit inspiring too. It might even motivate you to take a peek at your own 2024 and see what good happened for you, too!

We were so wowed by Lorraine (The Painless Piano Coach)'s story from the last episode that we knew we had to talk about our own creative mindset and how we overcame struggles we experienced for our creativity. Like many of our chats, this one wasn't about answering specific questions but it delved into a thorough exploration of our own creative journeys and the things we overcame to continue them. Listen in for some excellent back and forth on this topic! As always, we'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

We're all for showcasing something a little different here at Creative Reboot. So when Lorraine Robinson (otherwise known as The Painless Piano Coach) approached us and told us a little of her story, we knew we needed her to come on and share it all with you, too. Lorraine has been playing the piano since she was a child, and teaching it from a very young age, too. But the thing she loved most was also causing her incredible pain. Thinking she might have to give up doing the thing she loved, she found a teacher experienced in biometrics and now she teaches it to her students too. Lorraine's determination and resilience to keep being her most creative self shines through in this episode and we can't wait for you to hear it!

Inspired by last month's glorious episode with Stef Fournier, we decided to talk all about how our own personal brands have evolved over the years in this month's episode and it was quite the chat.

There's purple and personal branding and soulmate clients and wiener dogs to behold in this gorgeous jewel of an episode. Oh my! Today we chat with the fabulous Stef Fournier, personal branding coach, strategist and brand photographer and Sarah's new friend (!) about all things branding and neurospiciness. It's, as ever, chaotic, fun and full of brain sparkles (do we ever not have those with our amazing guests?!).  Enjoy and definitely grab a notebook for this one.

Inspired by the fabulous Lilian Sue's episode from last month, we jumped feet first into chatting about all things PR and visibility this month. What it is and what that might look like, how we do it for our own businesses, some of the common pitfalls but also what it does for us and we hit you with a whole bunch of resources you can check out at the end. If getting visible is on your agenda over the next year or so, then you'll definitely want to listen to this episode for all the inspiration!

You'll notice a theme in this month's episode... the theme of us both gasping in realisation and delight at all the juicy goodness Lilian Sue shares with us about her experiences with PR!  That's the topic on the block and Lilian really brings her A-game as she shares how we can get super intentional with our PR for our businesses and brands as creatives through the medium of telling our stories. We talk about everything from imposter syndrome to fully embracing your origin story and just about everything in between. We both walked away with a stack of notes from this episode so we're sure you will too! Bring a notebook and pen!

**CW: This episode does briefly discuss self-harm and suggestions of suicide**   We're getting personal in this month's episode and sharing our experiences and insights of being neurodiverse, which isn't really something we've done before! We discuss the strengths and challenges of being neurospicy, as well as the impact on our past work and ideas. From navigating career decisions and expectations to acknowledging individual strengths, we hope you'll find our perspectives on recognizing personal accomplishments and finding motivation to pursue our passions interesting and inspiring.

We've got a really special episode for you this week with some absolute pearls of wisdom about how we manage neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, in the workplace.  Our awesome guest, Samantha de Mattos, really knows her stuff and she makes some excellent connections between how we neurospicy folk function and how the world has developed in a way that means we've struggled to work like everyone else for so long. It really is a mind-bender of a conversation with some typically ADHD-squirrel-like moments along the way!

Welcome back to a brand new season of Creative Reboot! In this episode, we reflect on the journey that got us here. We've decided on a slight change of format again this season (tell us you have ADHD without saying you have ADHD!). As much as we loved all the guest episodes last year, we do also love having episodes with just the two of us so we're bringing them back this year. We've got a real mix of topics and guests lined up for you this year, although we're kinda winging it with what we're planning to talk about. Now's the time to let us know what you WANT to hear us chatting about in the coming months!

This wrap up episode of the year comes better late than never! And we've gone back to a chat with just the two of us after a season packed with awesome guests.  This turned into a much more poignant episode than we could have planned for and we shared some big stuff about our year. A lot has changed for us and we're excited about that as we head into 2024! We hope you enjoy the episode as you wrap up your year.  As always, we'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

We've tackled the money topic before here on Creative Reboot, but we don't think anyone has ever dug into it quite like this. Forget number-crunching and specifics, we're digging into flow and feelings. Yes, that's what we said. Flow and feelings all linked to your finances! Rosie lays it bare with some home truths, epic analogies and a seriously good journal prompt you all need to have a go at! Enjoy the episode!

It's our first episode with two guests joining us at the same time!

Vicki Farr is the one with the words over at We Are The Social.

As season 6 properly kicks off, we're super excited to introduce our very first guest, Sarah Sovereign, who joined us to talk all about creative boundaries.  If there's one thing we know, boundaries are super tough, especially from a neurodiverse perspective of wanting to keep everyone happy! But Sarah speaks about boundaries as a kindness and comes at it from a kind and accepting viewpoint. We really think you'll love what she has to say.  As always, we'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

And then suddenly it was 2023 and a new season of Creative Reboot is gearing up! Honestly, we can't quite get our heads around where the time has gone and the fact that this is SEASON SIX! How on earth?! We're kicking off the season with a little intro episode because it's going to be a little bit longer before we get started with our episodes for this year. We're changing up the format this year but you'll need to listen in to this episode to find out exactly how. We'll explain all there. We started this episode with a little review of the year just gone and then a look forward to the year that is coming. As is our way, we totally rabbited on and ran over time so maybe ramp us up to 1.5x speed or something to get through this one fast! Or, you know, take a long walk to have a good listen! We'll see you soon with the first of our episodes for this year!   As always, we'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

Wow, it's our final episode of this season and for the year (although we *might* be bringing you a bonus Christmas episode, if we can pull our finger out and get it done in time!). This episode is a direct follow on from last week's episode about inspiration, because, of course, we can't just talk about the good stuff, we have to address the bad and how we can overcome it, right? The word "block" is one of those phrases in the creative world that usually draws a raised eyebrow, a sage nod and a hmmm of understanding. Most of us have experienced it at one point or another. But it's all about how you manage to get past it that matters! Listen in for our top tips! Do let us know what you think of the episode! We'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

Carla & Sarah  xxx

Consider this a part one episode if you will... because in this episode we talk about inspiration, what inspires us and how we find inspiration in our every day lives. And in part two, coming next, we'll be talking about creative blocks. Two big, but related topics, that needed a double-whammy of an episode to say everything we wanted to say. In this meandering part one episode, we find out a lot about each other along the way (love it when that happens) and we'd love to hear from you about what inspires you too!

This episode is FIRE! Honestly, we're not fibbing. Within minutes of being on, Charelle Griffith dropped a shedload of wisdom all about marketing and we were blown away by how much information she shared with us! A Marketing Strategist and Business Mentor for coaches, consultants and service-based business owners with a passion for supporting solopreneurs and small business owners, Charelle focuses on taking the overwhelm out of marketing and instead creates marketing strategies that help her clients to shine online, consistently create content that converts, and ultimately build a thriving business that supports the lifestyle they desire. Carla wrote pages of notes during our chat, Sarah couldn't stop thanking Charelle for all the wisdom and permission slips she was throwing around.

Bit of a rambling episode this week that started with an experience and an idea. So much so, we didn't even really know what to call this episode to start with! As we talked though, we realised we were talking about all those unfinished creative projects we've started and never finished over the years. Not because we don't want to finish them, not because we ran out of time, but maybe because it's just not the right time for them right now. That's just one of our random thoughts anyway.

In a Creative Reboot first, our guest, the very lovely Girl Friday, Emma McGregor joined Carla in her office to record this episode earlier this summer! Emma shared her experiences with us of a career filled with so much diversity and not even a little bit of niching in the most articulate way.

A tough topic, especially as, for one of us at least, the feelings were definitely still recent and raw, but creative burnout is something we've all experienced definitely more than once in our creative journeys, so it felt right to have an episode about it this season. We talk all about our experiences of burnout, how we recognise it (eventually!) and how we feel it can be dealt with and, better yet, prevented. There are plenty of nuggets of wisdom in this episode so have a listen! We hope you enjoy the episode!

We started with a rough idea of talking about personal projects, what they are and how we incorporate them into our busy schedules. But it quickly became apparent we had different ideas about what a personal project really was! What ensued was an interesting delve into this topic and, we'll be honest, we didn't really come up with any firm answers. But one thing's for sure, it was an interesting topic and we'd really love to hear YOUR thoughts about what a personal project is! We hope you enjoy the episode!

A same-day epiphany for us both instigated this particular topic and chat and we think you can hear the joy and wonder and excitement in both our voices as we talk about it! We're talking about creative time in this episode, about making space to be creative not just to actually create something but also to enjoy creativity and let our brains mull things over and come up with new ideas.

As we properly kick off the season, we're tackling the green-eyed monster head on! JEALOUSY! In the context of creativity and professional jealousy of course.

Better late than never, here we are with the first episode of season 5! After a crazy year of 3 seasons and 30 episodes, we decided we needed a little time to rest, think things through and figure out how we were going to carry this podcast forward into 2022. That started by actually taking a month off from even thinking about it and wow did we need that! We've learned a lot about running a podcast, and about working with someone who works differently to ourselves. And it's these lessons we're taking forward into this latest season of Creative Reboot. This here is our intro episode for the year, where we reveal some exciting news!! Listen in to find out all the good stuff.

Welcome to Creative Reboot and season 4! We're tackling a topic this week that many creatives in business struggle with - pricing! Knowing how to price your products and services is an eternal struggle.

It's Season 3 of the Creative Reboot podcast, the podcast for creative souls, small business owners, side hustlers and dream chasers! As a kind of follow up to Episode 4: Legacy Planning, we tackle another big topic today that so many creative business owners don't ever really think about until the unthinkable happens - Emergency Planning! Do you know what you would do if you were suddenly taken in or in an accident and couldn't contact your clients? Do you have a backup plan in place to cover deadlines or postpone work if need be? How would you get that plan in place if you were unable to do it yourself? We cover all this and a lot more in this episode. We know it's not nice to talk about this stuff, but given the last year and a bit, we think it's necessary to think about it and HAVE A PLAN!

It's Season 3 of the Creative Reboot podcast, the podcast for creative souls, small business owners, side hustlers and dream chasers! For the last 2 seasons, we kept going on and on about how we would have to do an episode about procrastination. And after procrastinating over talking about procrastination for long enough, the episode is finally here! Yes, the irony is not lost on us. We talk about all aspects of this dreaded past time and how actually it isn't always something dreadful or to be feared. We talk about how procrastination manifests with us, and some of the ways we try to manage it. Lots of useful tips in this one, we reckon!  If you enjoy the episode, please rate it (5 stars!) and subscribe. Any links mentioned can be found in our show notes - https://creativereboot.co.

It's Season 3 of the Creative Reboot podcast, the podcast for creative souls, small business owners, side hustlers and dream chasers! It's time for the episode with two Carlas! That's because this week we've got the very lovely Carla Thomas from Carla Thomas Photography talking to us all about side hustling whilst also working a full-time job. Carla has been running her wedding photography business for a good number of years now but she's still very comfortable keeping it as a side hustle, thank you very much! We loved chatting with her about this because so many people worry that they can't be considered serious or professional in their side hustles while it stays that way, and we say that's poppycock!!

It's Season 3 of the Creative Reboot podcast, the podcast for creative souls, small business owners, side hustlers and dream chasers! A bit of a different episode from us this week. We get a little more introspective as we take a look at the concept of legacy planning and how that relates to our creativity. We come at this from two very different angles - Carla has thought about this a lot and made significant plans around the legacy she wants to leave behind, while Sarah is really only contemplating this for the very first time while recording this podcast! What about you? Have you thought about the legacy you'll leave behind? If you enjoy the episode, please rate it (5 stars!) and subscribe.
