What what – an introvert at a conference!? I know – but remember I do like a challenge… This was an unexpectedly fun part of my week, and my conclusion for why this was is… FOCUS. My funk last week, I believe, is down to a lack of focus. A feeling that is definitely disturbing […]
If you’ve been following along on this Enneagram series so far, you’ll know exactly what the heck I’m talking about and are ready for this instalment where I go through the types 5,6,7 of the Enneagram. If not, don’t worry! You’ll want to go back to the first episode in this series, which you can […]
Another Year of Fun – another thing or two I’ve learned about FUN! Firstly, I have a confession to make. I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately… nothing serious, just a bit of apathy that I know will pass. What’s weird is that things that might have excited me and challenged […]
Last week I introduced this series which is all about the Enneagram: a system for describing nine personality types. Like I said, I see this as just one more way of learning about yourself, and it’s a fun tool to geek out on. Today we’re going to be looking at three of the nine types, […]
Here we are – the 13th week of Fun in the year. Since we last spoke I had a birthday, exited my twenties – with some trepidation, some relief. I was planning to use my birthday as the subject of this week’s podcast but if I’m honest, there was little to say other than, […]

A little back story for today’s Fun recap, which is a bit of a yearly tradition. Around the Easter break, myself and 5 very dear friends have a habit of going away. We’ve been to Berlin, Amsterdam, New York, and they’ve all been some of my favourite holidays ever. One thing about these trips is […]
Do you feel like you’re ready to quit? Do you feel like you’re flogging a dead horse and beginning to look like a creazy person to you fam and friends? Do you have an iron-clad grip on a project or pursuit that is costing you time, money and energy – and your sanity? Then OH […]
My bad: I did indeed miss one update last week, and I honestly don’t have a particularly good excuse. It did help me remember that.. the whole point of this year long challenge is to explore the concept of fun: what fun means to me, what new ways can I explore fun, and that also […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Ben O’Brien (aka Ben the Illustrator.) Ben likely needs no introduction especially if you’re a fellow illustrator – and even if you’re not – there’s a good chance you’ve seen his work, whether it was in the Guardian, GQ or for one of […]
