The Creative Leap

This week on The Creative Leap is financial coach Julia Day, who helps women in all walks of life take control of their finances so they can live fun and sustainable lives. Sounds pretty good, huh? Julia helps people with tax, money management and pricing through one to one coaching, workshops, courses and her fab podcast, Easy Numbers (episode 6 is a personal fave).

We talk about how money mindset might be holding you back, how to make sure your invoices are paid on time and creating appropriate pricings based on your value & target audience.

This week on The Creative Leap is life coach & business mentor Sophie French. Sophie fills her days by coaching people, running workshops and attending speaking events all about ‘How To Crush The Can’t In Your Head’. If this doesn’t speak to you already (I know it speaks to me), this basically means that she takes the doubts in your head and turns them in to confidence to have the life and business you want.

We talk about how separating yourself from your business can increase your confidence, travelling the world whilst running your business and of course, how to crush the can’t in your head.

This week on The Creative Leap is video coach Tors Grantham who started her journey working in television and moulded that and her other life experiences into the business she runs today.

This week on The Creative Leap is travel blogger Jess Gibson whose award winning blog, The Travelista recently celebrated its fifth year running. Jess started travel writing whilst doing an unpaid internship and found a love of mixing writing with travel which she turned into a successful blog. Since starting the blog, she has travelled to over 30 countries and wrote amazing content for each one and build an engaged audience which has allowed her to take her business full time.

We have a chat about why travel blogging isn't all about going on holiday, why sometimes a creative crawl instead of a leap is the better option and choosing the correct opportunities based on your audience.

This week on The Creative Leap I am talking to Sapphire Bates who runs two incredible business, The Flower Arranger and The Coven Girl Gang. Sapphire started her own florist business after she had been travelling and got home to a blank slate and since then it has gone from strength to strength. She then created The Coven Girl Gang which is launching fully in May 2018, to educate and bring together creative business women all over the world.

We talk about her girl gang and why community over competition is so important, how to manage multiple businesses at the same time and why you can't take your business personally.

This week on The Creative Leap is Business Mentor for Female Freelancers, Nesha Woolery. Nesha started her journey as a blog designer (like myself!) and then transitioned to design studio and then finally educator and mentor for business owners. Her courses and groups are a huge help to hundreds of freelancers and I found out about Nesha a while ago through her incredible content and went on to do her course Organize & Automate.

We chat about why passive income isn't always as passive as you think, how you can use free and valuable content to keep an audience connected and more likely to work with you and why planning your income can ultimately help it grow.

Luci works with creative female business owners to offer design and technical support and also offers amazing branding, website and launch design services.

This week on The Creative Leap, I am doing something a bit different and I am my own guest! I have asked around for questions from listeners of the podcast and I got some amazing questions so had to answer them for you. Thank you to everyone who sent me a question and I hope I can help you out!

I talk about my struggles with burnout when I got started, how confidence in yourself can help you price your work appropriately and why you can only help yourself with your productivity.
