In this episode, I chat with Sarah Buckett, a collage artist who started her business in her forties after coming to it accidentally. Sarah never thought of herself as creative until she did a graphic design course as part of her previous career but the experience sparked something in her and since then she's created a beautiful business creating paper collage art and illustrations. 

Sarah did my Design Your Own Branding course and we talked about how her experience shaped her business, and challenged lots of her limiting beliefs around branding.

I said over the summer that it was going to be solo episodes, but I like to be flexible so when my podcast producer Lucy Lucraft and I were chatting about how to be a better podcast guest I thought it would be the perfect topic to cover and Lucy very kindly agreed to come and join me to chat about it. 

We also chatted about Lucy's new podcast membership The Podcast Sessions which *technically* closes for enrolment tomorrow but for BYB listeners it's extended for a tiny bit longer! And honestly, having worked with Lucy for over three years, I think it's going to be epic!

I hope you enjoy today's episode and do make sure you come back next week to hear how to pitch to be on podcasts.
