Intuitive writing & the wisdom of the body with Tara Jackson.

If you've ever felt disconnected from your creativity, stuck forcing the process, or unsure how to hear your own intuition beneath the noise, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with author, writing mentor, publisher and founder of Global Soul Press, Tara Jackson, to explore embodied writing, intuitive creativity, and the wisdom of the body.

Together, we unpack how creativity changes when we stop trying to control it and instead learn to listen—to ourselves, our bodies, our creative callings, and the natural cycles unfolding around us.

This is a conversation about writing, but it's also about the creative process itself: reconnecting with intuition, trusting what wants to emerge, and allowing our work to transform us in the process.
We dive into:

• Writing as a pathway for creativity, self-discovery and personal transformation
• The relationship between intuition, creativity and the body
• How to reconnect with your creativity when you've become disconnected from it
• Embodied creation and letting the body guide the creative process
• Books as initiations, creative portals and catalysts for change

And perhaps most importantly, how creativity becomes richer, more sustainable, and more meaningful when we stop forcing outcomes and begin listening more deeply.

If things have felt slower, quieter, or more unpredictable in your creative business, you're not alone.

The thing is, it's not because people have simply 'stopped spending'.

In this episode, we unpack the top five friction points you haven't considered, and why the shift isn’t about lack, it’s about refinement.

Because right now, people are more intentional, more considered, and more emotionally connected to where they spend their money.

This episode is a gentle but powerful audit of your business — not from a place of pressure, but from empowerment.

We dive into:

• Why being seen isn’t the same as being remembered
• The difference between selling outputs vs outcomes
• How your Creative Signature impacts bookings
• The subtle gaps in your client/customer journey
• Why not all clients (or sales) are equal
• The rise of connection, community, and real-world presence

And most importantly, how to adjust your sails without losing yourself in the process. Because your business likely has the capacity to run more effectively, it just might be asking you to evolve.

Most creatives aren’t just doing the work they’re paid for, they’re carrying everything around it.

There’s a layer of creative work that rarely gets acknowledged — not by clients, not by audiences, and sometimes, not even by the creatives themselves.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the invisible labour in creative services: the work behind the work that often goes unseen, unpriced, and unspoken.

Because when you don’t account for it, it doesn’t just affect your time … it affects your energy, your confidence, and the sustainability of your entire creative business.

This is a conversation for photographers, designers, writers, social media managers, and multi-creatives who have ever felt:

“I’m doing so much… so why does it still feel like it’s not enough?”

Inside this episode, we explore:

• What invisible labour actually looks like in a creative business
• Why so many creatives feel exhausted, even when they’re 'doing well'
• The disconnect between what clients see vs what you carry
• How underestimating your workload leads to underpricing and burnout
• The first shift you can make to start recognising (and protecting) your energy

If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or quietly overwhelmed — this episode will help you understand why.

And more importantly, it will help you start naming the full value of what you do.

Welcome to the Courageous Creatives Podcast.

This is the conversation we’ve never shared publicly. Burnout, grief, and having our designs copied broke something in us. Here's what really happened behind our business hiatus with Hope & Co. — and how we rebuilt and found our way back.

•••

After over 18 months off the mic, we’re back — and this conversation is one of the most honest we’ve ever shared.

In this deeply personal episode, Georgie sits down with her mum, artist and writer Sarah Hope, to talk about what really happened behind the scenes of their creative business, Hope & Co., post-COVID — the burnout, the grief, and the quiet unraveling that led to a long hiatus.

For the first time publicly, they open up about the heartbreak of having their original ceramic designs copied and mass-produced offshore — and the emotional toll of navigating creative theft as artists whose work is deeply personal.

But this episode isn’t about staying in that place – it's about what came next.

Sarah shares her journey of healing from the unspoken pandemic trauma, how she gently found her way back to creativity, and what it looks like to rebuild not just a business — but a relationship with your creative self.

Together, they explore:

• What to do when your creative business no longer feels aligned

• How to pivot without losing your identity

• The emotional reality of burnout, grief, and creative loss

• How creativity can become a grounding force in uncertain times

• What it means to be a guiding light through your work and presence

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your creativity, questioned your path, or wondered how to begin again — this episode is for you.

This is your permission slip to pivot, to heal, and to rebuild something even more aligned than before.
