Nature photography, music photography, wedding photography, marketing, coaching, this episode's guest was not afraid to try new things and see where they would take her.
Doing too much, however, can leave you feeling rudderless, and in Amber Leach's case almost. led to her giving up her creative enterprise all together.

This is where a volunteering opportunity came up and changed everything, invigorating Amber's creativity and helping her get back on track with her work/life balance. 

Find out how Amber went from a photographer about to sell her business to a photographer with a team and processes that allowed her to love her photography again.

At uni, studying sociology, Kat Arksey visited poetry reading club nights. She was writing her own poetry, but kept her creations to herself, not feeling confident enough to share her works.
Kat has now published a number of poetic writings for children. So what changed and gave her the confidence to allow her work to be seen?

Susan Widlake studied Russian and Bulgarian at university. After that she turned to accountancy, even though she ‘didn’t really like maths that much’.   She travelled a lot for her work in the finance and pharmaceutical industries, but at the weekends she would enjoy sewing projects, and even had a little travelling craft box to dip into on train journeys.
Susan is settled in the UK now, and has opened her own millinery studio, creating hat designs inspired by her travels, with names to match.

What happens when everything you know comes to an end? As a member of two successful girl bands, Eve Horne came crashing back to normality when it all ended, and she had to figure out afresh who she was. In this episode Eve talks about losing her identity and struggling with depression – without knowing what that was – and how she hopes she can help girls and women who find themselves in a similar position now.

When you leave university with a creative degree, what do you do next? Trying to forge a career in creative arts can involve working for free and hopping from placement to placement. Then as you start earning money and gain more responsibility your role becomes more about managing and coordinating than actually creating. 

In this bonus episode I’m talking with Lauren Deakin, who has found her place in the creative marketplace now, but only after a good deal of exploration.

For this episode I’m speaking with Jonathan Self, who has travelled widely and seen what he describes as the best and worst of humanity. We’ll find out how being in New York on 9/11 helped him find purpose and encouraged his interest in photography, and how a walk in Devon sparked the idea for the first online photography and wellbeing course for children, Cultivating Wonder.

Lou Hamilton was living an idyllic and artistic life in Scotland when she witnessed the Lockerbie air disaster. Years later she realized that the trauma of that event was still within her, and she started to address that. Lou trained as a coach to help herself and others feel courage and confidence. Age 50, Lou was compelled to start drawing again, which led to her publishing two books (so far) and picking up a paintbrush too.
