In my podcast A Smaller Life, I talk to makers and business owners in my industry (and sometimes beyond) about making conscious choices and growing your brand by actually going smaller.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Julia (Jules) Billings and her business Woollenflower.
Jules is a yarn dyer with an expertise in natural dyeing, she teaches dyeing and knitting techniques and makes re-used tweed pouches. She's such a positive force. I talk to her about the process of natural yarn dyeing and how it can be done with respect for the environment. We chat about the dip in sales caused by the lockdowns and look ahead at what's coming.

This is where you’ll find….

 You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching gets a bad rep sometimes, but when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience it at no or low cost. If you've ever been curious about working with me in this way, now's the time. Just send me an email: [email protected]

This summer, I'm hosting a playful and peaceful journaling challenge. I've called BuJo By The Sea. 

This is for you. You'll get six weeks of gentle prompts plus a cozy space to share and reflect with fellow creatives in the Ja, Wol Community – if you choose so– you can also get these prompts just in your email box. It starts July 19th, and you can sign up through jawol.myflodesk.com/bujobythesea
