In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Joanna Penn, NYT Best Selling Author and host of the brilliant the Creative Penn podcast. Todays guest is kind of a big deal. And not just because she’s a New York Times best selling author, or because she was voted as one of […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to Jasmine Star - photographer, branding expert and all round SUPERSTAR! Today’s podcast guest is someone who I’m sure most of you will be familiar with - like myself, you might know her from her beautiful Instagram feed or might have heard her incredible […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to someone I connected with through Twitter - which is very fitting for our conversation because we really dive deep into what it means to use social media effectively and bust some myths that put a lot of creatives - introverts and extroverts alike […]
In this week’s episode of the Creative Introvert podcast I talk to my good friend and fellow introvert in business, Sarah Santacroce. We talk about introvert retreats, masterminds, why it is introverts find it so hard to ask for help and I talk about the bridging process and making things a habit as a way […]

True story: a year ago this week I added a note to Evernote titled ‘What I Wish I Knew a Year Ago’ and set a reminder to go off in 12 months time. I had just set up this site, and had decided to start focussing more on helping fellow creatives with marketing and the business-end […]
Show of (virtual) hands please: Have you ever found yourself spending hours crafting the perfect email to a potential client or member of the press, only to get… NO reply? Maybe your email went straight to the spam folder. Maybe you made a typo and they’re sitting in their office right now, laughing at your mistake. […]
As much as us introverts like to think of ourselves as independent beings, happy enough (or ecstatic) to spend time alone: we are, as humans, pack animals.
