You know that feeling when everything goes quiet in your business?

No enquiries, no new bookings, and suddenly you’re second-guessing everything — your pricing, your content, your ability to even do this. In this episode, I’m sharing why those quiet periods happen (even when you’re doing all the right things) and why they don’t have to be your normal anymore.

We’re talking about the deeper reasons behind the feast-and-famine cycle so many creative business owners get stuck in, and what it really looks like to build a business that’s booked in advance — peacefully, calmly, and in a way that actually supports you.

You might not feel burnt out.

You’re showing up. You’re getting through your to-do list. You’re not lying on the floor crying (at least not today). But… things feel heavier than they should. The simplest tasks feel overwhelming. Your creativity feels off. You’re either too busy or completely disconnected.

In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet, sneaky signs of burnout that so many creative business owners have just gotten used to - the ones we often dismiss as “just being tired” or “having a lot on.”

There are certain projects I always say no to - not because of "red flags", not because they're TERRIBLE clients and not even because they're not potentially good projects... But because they're not my perfect people and they're not the most aligned clients I could work with. And it's important to me to say no to the "not-quite-there" projects, so I can say yes to the "oh-my-god-this-is-the-most-amazing-project" clients!

I’m sharing the kinds of enquiries that could seem fine on the surface, but that I’ve learned aren't the best for me. These are the projects that I have found aren't best to keep my processes, my schedule and my creativity as peaceful as possible.

Whether you’re in a season of trying to say yes to everything or learning to hold your own boundaries with clients, I hope this episode reminds you that saying no is a powerful part of building a sustainable, spacious creative business.

Feeling like everyone is in a similar creative industry to you? Wondering how to stand out when things feel crowded and you can't stop comparing?

In this episode, I’m sharing a quieter, more strategic approach to standing out in your own space so you can get booked up with perfect clients - even in saturated spaces. Because the truth is: your uniqueness is your superpower... but you have to know how to define it, share it, and shout it as loud as you can! (In your own way, of course!)

If you’ve ever thought “there are too many people doing this - how can I stand out?” this one’s for you.
