EP. 27 - Finding Your Own Unique Version of Creativity with Charlotte Robson

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to the wonderful Charlotte Robson, founder of The Authentic Girls Club (TAGC), a growing community of women empowering women.

I was honoured to be invited to collaborate with Charlotte in her January Masterclass called "The Power of Creativity" inside her lovely membership and took part in a 14-day challenge with her members to kickstart our creativity as a way of reconnecting with ourselves.

EP. 24 - My Creativity Realised: How it Happened - By Combatting Imposter Syndrome (AJ Merlin)

Woohoo, we are back this week with our 6th episode of the guest series. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting to the lovely AJ Merlin, a Creative Mindset Coach:

AJ is a writer and Creative Mindset Coach who helps artists strengthen their mindset and reframe their inner critic so they can get the success they’re after. She worked in the film, TV, and video games industry for the past ten years. She focuses on three particular pillars: How to reframe your inner voice so it becomes your empowering mentor, how to be efficient with your time and keep your motivation up no matter the obstacles faced, and how to feel empowered as an artist and achieve your dream in alignment with your values.

I absolutely loved hearing about how AJ transitioned into a whole new industry and learnt to combat those feelings of imposter syndrome that so many creatives encounter along their journeys. One of my biggest takeaways was how we can actually end up self-sabotaging as a result of imposter syndrome.

EP. 23 - My Creativity Realised: How it Happened - By Trying Something New in Lockdown (Vicki Nicolson)

Woohoo, we are back this week with our 4th episode of the guest series. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting to the awesome Vicki, a Graphic Designer and Contemporary Romance Author:

Vicki Nicolson is graphic designer specialising in branding and creating card decks for women business owners. Vicki also recently wrote her first contemporary romance novel over lockdown and launched her romance author brand, VH Nicolson. She is now completely smitten with writing love stories with happily ever afters. Vicki was born and raised along the breathtaking coastline in North East Fife in Scotland. For more than two decades she’s worked throughout the UK and abroad within the creative marketing and design industry, as a branding strategist and stylist, editor of a magazine and sub-editor of a newspaper. Married to her soul mate, they have one son. She has a weakness for buying too many quirky sparkly jumpers, eating Belgium buns, and walking the endless beaches that surround her beautiful Scottish hometown she’s now moved back to where she runs both her graphic design business and author brand.

I absolutely loved hearing about how Vicki made her transition to becoming an author, whilst at the same time using her graphic design and marketing skills to her advantage as she navigated through this process! Her story inspired me so much to think bigger about my creative passions.
