Something a little bit different this week. This episode of Super Creative is a 2025 Year in Review, recorded as a relaxed, end-of-year catch up with two women who have both been podcast guests and both become genuine friends.

I’m joined by Mandy Myles, founder of Bookety Book Books, and Emma Sage, founder of Sage Journal, for a wide-ranging conversation reflecting on the year that was.

Both Mandy and Emma have had significant business moments over the past six to twelve months. Mandy shares the thinking behind her crowdfunding campaign and the evolution of Bookety Book Books, while Emma reflects on the launch of the first print edition of Sage Journal and what it took to bring that project to life.

Alongside the business reflections, this episode also doubles as a recommendations special. We chat about the books, podcasts and TV shows that have stood out this year and what we’re looking forward to reading, watching and listening to over summer.

This is a conversation that feels like sitting down with friends at the end of a big year. A chance to pause and reflect before heading into what’s next.
