January favourites 📷

We had a lot of cosy days and chilly walks, celebrated Indy turning 3, had a post Christmas gathering with family we hadn’t seen over the festive season and soaked up all the winter sunshine we could ☀️

What’s going on your list for the first month of the year? ✨

I LOVE this addition to a monthly review, totally inspired by my business bestie Franky @loveaudrey83 who calls it her greatest hits. My beautiful planner has a page just perfect for recording my highlights, but you could of course create your own in your planner or notebook or use a notes app on your phone.

My January entry is running my first online workshop for my newsletter subscribers…what’s yours?

Creative business owners, here are some questions

Creative business owners, here are some questions to ask yourself at the start of a new week…

✨How am I feeling as this week begins?
✨What are my commitments this week?
✨What are my goals? What tasks are going to best move me towards these goals?
✨In what ways can I feel supported this week?

Personally, I’ve got quite a full week, my goals and plans include: mentoring calls with my awesome clients, batch podcast recordings with @loveaudrey83 and doing my month-end business check-in and review - something I am planning to be much better at doing consistently this year.

Factoring in that my kid’s school is closed due to strikes on Wednesday; I’m supporting myself by having a clear vision of what I want to get done and when, keeping expectations realistic and things simple and gentle at home.

What’s coming up for you this week?

What do you like to do on Sunday to reset and plan for the week ahead?

I don’t necessarily always manage to fit all these things in, but I do love knowing what’s included in my perfect Sunday rhythm to set me up for a great week ahead. I’d love to encourage you to have a think about what would be on your Sunday list and let me know

Mum life / work life - one of those weeks where the lines felt blurred, tilting from one mode to the other in quick succession. Working in the morning, hanging with my little buddy in the afternoon and visa versa. Not the ideal, but necessary and I do manage to find my flow with it (for the most part).

How was the balance for you this week?

As a business mentor to creative mamas, I can’t tell you that this season of your life won’t feel like a juggle, I do have some solutions for helping it feel like less of a struggle. I’d love to invite you for a free discovery chat if that sound like something you’re craving support with 🤍

This month, I’ve been thinking a lot, and having

This month, I’ve been thinking a lot, and having conversations, about how we build habits into our lives, especially how to successfully cultivate ones that stick and create long term changes.

Something I recommend to all my creative mentoring clients is to take @gretchenrubin’s 4 Tendencies Quiz. It’s a framework that gives you insight on how you meet both inner and our expectations, which is a crucial factor in habit building. Depending on your personality type different strategies will work for you.

I’d love to hear what Tendency you are and whether that resonates with how you show up in your creative business (I’ll put the link to the quiz in my stories). Any fellow ‘Rebels’ out there?

I’m not saying don’t try and carve out uninter

I’m not saying don’t try and carve out uninterrupted time for yourself and your creativity if and when that is possible, but I am saying don’t let the fact that you might get interrupted stop you from showing up to your practice at other times.

Motherhood, especially in the early years is so all consuming, that sometimes it feels easier to not even bother trying to do the creative or enriching activities in the way we used to enjoy them. But those snatched moments do add up, so scribble in your journal, read a few pages, sketch or craft and experiment creatively even if just for a few minutes.

As your kids get older you’ll find those uninterrupted moments get longer and maybe even that you’ve passed on some creative habits along the way!

I mean I’m glad it’s not raining but haven’t been able to feel my toes all day 🥶

Do you every go back through your old posts and find pics to reshare? If you’re using Instagram for your creative biz it’s definitely something I would recommend making a regular part of your content planning process. Looking back over the corresponding month from years gone by is a great way to find posts in keeping with the season. And if there’s no shots to share as they are, you could try a re-edit or perhaps get inspired to recreate some. Beyond the images you may even find captions that you can reuse or tweak. There’s such a wealth of creativity that we all put time and effort into, repurposing and revisiting just makes good sense! 💙
