In this playful bonus of The Spark, Katy Cowan welcomes back Zoë Thompson, founder of Sweet Thang and proud zine entrepreneur, for a quick-fire round of joy-filled questions. After sharing her creative journey in Monday's episode, Zoë returns to talk about creative jealousy and how she reframes it with her "love it for you, want it for me" list. She makes a strong case for anti-hustle creativity, too. Sometimes, doing nothing is where good ideas arrive.
Zoë shares the small rituals that keep her grounded, including solo dance parties to a playlist that gets her out of her head and back into her body. She goes nostalgic with scents that pull her straight back to her childhood years in Brunei. Think bug spray, sunscreen, and memories of the rainforest. There are fairy folktales, a dream dinner with Ella Fitzgerald, and a defence of Helvetica that will make every designer nod.
You also get TikTok envy handled with grace, a love letter to Pinterest, a new font purchase, and a gentle debate on spice levels. It is warm, funny, and honest. Listen if you need a creative lift, a reminder that balance beats hustle, and a nudge to make space for play.
