The Hidden Creative Podcast

The Hidden Creative is about helping those people who need to recognise their talents. To give confidence to those who aren’t yet confident enough to go all in. No matter where you are in your journey, the world needs what only you can provide, and the hidden creative podcast is about helping you bring your dreams to life and share your gift with others, no matter what.  

The guest that I’m interviewing today is what the Hidden Creative means to me. He inspires me with his courage and laid back attitude. His depth of emotion that no-one else can see on the outside. He is incredibly talented, and I mean incredibly talented. And yet will tell you that he just "goes with the flow". He is a true hidden creative who for so long shied away from the gift he was born with, and today he is all in on sharing his passion with the world.

Grab a cuppa and I hope you enjoy this episode with Sam Snape, solo acoustic artist, Father and farmer from a little country town in rural NSW, Australia.

“Being social” according to Google means you crave companionship, belonging, community.

However, I would strongly argue the point that the Social Media we know today has been named incorrectly. Because even though at first glance it might seem that way, it actually has many differing qualities that would prove otherwise.

Today we are chatting about a new way of using social media in hope to bring about a positive change.

Do you know what… general society shouldn’t dictate what you market for. It shouldn’t tell you what your goals are. It shouldn’t be the reason for your actions. 

And yet somehow along the way, we forget that we set the intention of our business. That instead of focusing on advertising for more clients for example, that maybe we should break away from society’s expectations, and advertise for incredibly aligned employees. That maybe the goal isn’t to have a million followers but in actual fact it's to make the biggest difference for just one person. That maybe we pursue something we love because we are passionate about it and not be forced to take the road that many have taken before us because it's proven. 

YOU set the intention of your business and that should be based off what you want. 

In today’s episode I chat with one incredible lady about her adventures as an occupational therapist. You will discover that there are more ways than one for creating a rural business that doesn’t want to fit the box. A business that wants to intentionally be different, stand out and create their own pathway forward.

“I think it’s allowed me to be myself a little bit in a way that maybe wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t regional. I think regional communities are really just crying out for good people to do good things.” The beautiful words spoken by our incredible guest James O’Hanlon in today’s podcast episode. 

As a multi passionate, regional creative sharing his talent through many different platforms, I know that you will resonate too with his story. James shares honestly about putting yourself out there, naming what you do as a creative and the many ways you can use your location to benefit your business! 

From an inquisitive science background to painting murals on the side of buildings, writing books and everything in between, you will want a cuppa for today’s episode because James’ story is captivating.

 Let's talk about putting yourself out there. It's scary isn't it. As a business owner you are faced with putting yourself out there into your community, into the world, in so many different ways to help grow our business. It can be challenging at times and hard to overcome the fear of showing up in new ways.  

Our guest on the podcast has a story that I think will really help you! She has put herself out there in a big way and has grown a successful business in doing so. This platform that she has created has helped her to overcome that fear and has opened up so many opportunities for not only her but for family members, clients and others around her. 

I really hope you enjoy listening to Sue Jeffries from Second Time Round as she shares with us her story about growing a business by seizing opportunities created from putting yourself out into the world!

If I were to ask you what you thought makes a person creative, what would your answer be - someone who can draw, someone who can paint? What if I were to tell you that those first thoughts you have of a creative person are only just the beginning to what being a creative is all about, and that up until now - you may not have even thought that YOU are a creative… 

Let me enlighten you in today's episode where we chat all about the hidden creative and how you my ambitious listener, can change the world! Let's do this!

In loving memory of our beautiful Britt. I am forever grateful that Britt said yes to being interview on the podcast, because it means we have this episode to cherish and hold onto 🤍🕊️

Britt was the owner of Unlax Candles, a soy wax candle business operating from a little rural town called Breeza. While Britt made candles to fill your home with amazing scents, her business was SO much more than just this. Her story of where her business began is touching and her words throughout this episode are so incredible bittersweet. She has left us with her guidance on coping with grief, as we grieve the loss of her. 

While we can't reach out to her anymore, this episode is a beautiful tribute to the incredible human that she was, and even though she isn't here physically to live out her legacy, we will share this episode far and wide in her honour. To ensure that her message is never forgotten, that she is never forgotten.

Britt's powerful message behind Unlax Candles. 

___________

You know those conversations you have with a friend that turn into a D&M? The conversations where you go deep into the why, and share openly and honestly. Where you discuss the real, the raw and the honest? Well, welcome to episode 16 of the podcast!

Today we chat with Britt Abraham, the incredible owner and founder behind Unlax Candles, a small business selling soy wax candles from Breeza NSW and spreading a very important message across the globe!

I hope you enjoy our heart to heart.

There is this wave of busy-ness flooding through the business community and I hear it every day. There is just so much to do and so little time to do it and I feel it’s a trap we have fallen into.

But, there is only so far you can go running in the “busy” direction before something has to give, and as a creative, it’s going to be your creativeness.

In today's episode, I have invited Renee from Life and Business In Alignment onto the podcast to chat about how to “un-busy” your mind so that you are able to direct your focus into more productive areas. So that you can utilise your time in a more mindful way, get all those tasks done without feeling chaotic and busy and in turn operate from that beautiful creative space that this all began from for you in the first place!

The issue we address in today’s podcast is something that I believe every regional small business owner needs to hear and I would be so grateful, if you like today’s episode, to screenshot and share in your socials. Let’s get this message out there to our creative community and change the way we feel about our businesses! Let’s get back to being creative and doing what we love!
