‘Creative Kind Podcast’ Episode 28
The Creative Kind Episode #28 with Rosie Holt
In this episode I chat to the lovely Rosie Coaches about approaching business as a creative. Rosie is a business coach who delivers masterclasses, community and speaking events and one to one coaching to business owners and creative entrepreneurs. We chat about how to make informed choices in your creative practice, avoid burnout, and approach long-term growth in a sustainable way. Rosie emphasizes that success doesn’t come from working at 100% every day, but from showing up consistently—whether you’re putting in 10 minutes or a full day’s work. We also explore the importance of planning for the future, setting achievable goals, and finding joy in small wins.

Mindset Matters — Overcoming Overwhelm
As business owners, overwhelm is part of the deal right?
Rarely a day goes by when we don't feel overwhelmed by all of the tasks we need to do.
It's no wonder we feel this way. We’re wearing all the hats, spinning all the plates and keeping all the balls in the air (why so many circus analogies in business??)
While this is true, we DO have lots of tasks to complete, but we’re often creating tedious to-do lists without first addressing what the end goal is.
