In Create Shift S4,ep 6 I talk with Bianca Bass who is a marketing and brand consultant and a writer. Bianca helps companies and individuals communicate with more emotion, that ultimately leads to more sales and conversion. Our conversation spans business, self-confidence, entrepreneurship, self-care and re-connecting to our ancestral roots. Bianca generously shares her personal experience and journey to where she is today both personally and professionally, as well as offering a heap of practical advice. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Food waste is a huge problem within the Western world with over one third of all food produced globally going to waste. Open Kitchen MCR is a social enterprise here in Manchester working to do their bit to help combat this issue. In Create Shift S4,ep5 I chat with Steph Lynch-Ozamar who is the Communications and Campaigns Manager for Open Kitchen MCR. We chat about the work they do and how they do it and I learn what gleaning is and how many millions (!) of bananas go to waste t a household level every day. If you listened to my solo episode on What is Holistic Living you'll know I'm really passionate about holistic living being more than aromatherapy, candles and yoga asana. To me holistic living has a lot to do with being connected to others and the world around us, and doing what we can to make that a better place. So, it's important to me that we learn about organisations such as Open Kitchen MCR and support them if and how we can. I hope  you enjoy the episode.

In Create Shift S4,ep4 I chat with menstruality coach and educator Lisa de Jong. We talk about periods, yes, and Lisa offers great practical tips for women. But we also talk about one of my favourite topics of all cyclical or non-linear living. We discuss masculine and feminine energies, and the need for more compassion for ourselves and others in the world. Lisa teaches me about some Celtic spirituality and symbolism, and she leaves me with an incredibly intriguing statement. 

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording!

In Create Shift S4,ep3 I talk to yoga teacher and movement educator Laurel Beversdorf. I wanted to bring Laurel on the podcast as I think she's a really interesting voice on yoga, movement and the roles they play in our lives. We talk about yoga, movement, exercise and how the roles that these play in our lives especially in Western individualistic society. This is a great listen for anybody, but also for anyone working within movement (not just yoga teachers). I hope that, in listening to this episode, your curiosity will be raised and you'll have lots of questions spinning around in your mind.

Welcome to Create Shift season3 or, the Summer season. This season is different to those that have come before in that there's only one episode. Yup, this is it for the Summer season of Create Shift. Why? Well, I explain in the episode but in a nutshell it's because it's Summer. And, to me, Summer is about creating space in my life so that I can frolic outside more (ie be behind a computer less). So, enjoy this episode which is me riffing on Summer seasonal living and sharing some Ayurvedic wisdom on the subject.

I will see you (be in your ears?) in the Autumn.

Happy Summer!

Ellen x

Rachel Noble runs the Noble Apothecary, a holistic skincare brand based from her home apothecary here in Manchester. This is the final episode of Create Shift season 2, and what a wonderful interview to end it on. Rachel and I discuss her journey from beauty blogger to lover of skincare simplicity and creating the Noble Apothecary. But really this is a holistic conversation, about how what we choose to put on our bodies and a simple skincare routine is one piece of the whole of holistic living. I loved chatting to Rachel, she's so generous with what she shares and is extremely honest and open. I hope that you'll enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it. 

Thank you so much for supporting Create Shift season 2, it really does mean so much to me to know that people are listening to - and finding benefit from - the show. If you'd like to further support the show you can do so by leaving a rating or review on Apple podcasts here. Having ratings and reviews helps to make the podcast more visible on the platform, and so helps others who might enjoy it to find it. 

Thank you so much, Ellen x

In Create Shift S2, Ep6 I talk to Charlotte Holroyd who runs Creative Wilderness, an ethical branding and design agency. Charlotte talks about her journey from 'normal job' to being self-employed, and how this shift has helped her to live a life more aligned with her values. We discuss the impacts a standard office environment can have on our health and wellbeing, and why we feel this needs to change. Charlotte shares her story of how yoga has played a huge role in supporting her to live and work more intuitively, and create some self-care rituals. This episode is a great listen for anyone who's interested in connecting more to their intuition in their work and life, and creating some routines to support their wellbeing.

In Create Shift S2,ep5 I chat to Josephine Brooks, a planning and productivity mentor for side-hustlers on a mission to reframe how productivity is seen. I was interested to have Josephine on the show to chat about productivity and the term side-hustling. I've never really liked the phrase, and I was interested to hear how Josephine views hustling and slow, holistic living to be able to sit side by side. We have an open and honest discussion about our own struggles with the term, with running businesses on the side whilst trying to make time for ourselves and self-care practice too. What Josephine presents is, in my opinion, a more feminine way of working that I'm fully on board with. One that's about doing less, getting more done and nurturing ourselves as we do it.
