In this inspiring episode of The Average Jacks Podcast, I am joined by Lizzie Barnett, former teacher, world traveller, and founder of Studio Nine, a creative and wellness-driven space located in the heart of Southport.

After 12 years in education, Lizzie took a step back to explore the world, only to return with a bigger vision, one that prioritises community, wellbeing, and creativity. Studio Nine now serves as a hub for local professionals, wellness experts, and creatives looking for a flexible, nurturing environment to host events, run workshops, or simply find stillness.

We dive into:

• Lizzie’s journey from teaching to entrepreneurship

• How Studio Nine is helping shape the Southport creative and wellness scene

• Her collaboration with Southport’s Journey a magazine showcasing the stories and people revitalising Southport

We also explore how initiatives like Studio Nine and Southport’s Journey are working hand in hand to build a stronger, more connected local community.
