Caveat: I’m a bit biased with this, as an INTJ. That basically means… I love me some routine. I love dreaming up routines, I love planning routines, I love doing routines. But… I haven’t always been this way – at least, not consciously. When I worked a 9–5 job in a design agency, I couldn’t […]
Recently, we’ve been talking about the joys – OK less so the joys – but at least the usefulness of email when it comes to getting anything from press, more work, better clients – all the things. But… you may be a bit stuck on what to email. You might not have any specific clients […]
Let me tell you a story… One year ago today I was at a place very close to rock bottom. l’m not a full-time anything: my wall consists of multiple hats I don and I enjoy the variety. But last year a few of these hats were gone. To clarify, when I took myself out […]
Recently back an episode #44 we talked about the importance of accountability – as in, having someone to keep you in check, offering their support and encouragement when you have something you want to do – but are struggling to do it. Now, I’d like to add one more piece to the puzzle, and that […]

A short one today to mark the grand re-opening of the League of Creative Introverts, my online community for like-minded creatives who are ready to get their work out into the world… but on their terms – no extroverting required! I tackle the common questions I get about the League of Creative Introverts including… Isn’t […]
If you’ve been listening to this podcast a while, you might have heard a bit about my story – how I left my day job as a professional pixel pusher – I mean, web designer – to pursue my childhood dreams of becoming an illustrator and above all – be able to work from HOME. […]
Networking. A word almost as cringe-inducing as saying Volde-I mean, he who must not be named. Regardless of whether you’re an introvert OR an extrovert – I actually don’t know if anyone admits to enjoying networking. It’s kind of like exercise. We know it’s good for us but it doesn’t come without some pain – […]
If you google the words ‘self sabotage’ you will see there’s nearly two million results for this term. Two million? If that’s anything to go by, I’d say self sabotage is a pretty common human behaviour – even if it doesn’t always make sense on paper. When I first heard the term, I snorted: why […]
