S8, Ep 1: Nerdy About Notebooks

Welcome to a new season of the Creative Reboot podcast!
It's season 8 and our 5th year of chatting about all things creative. We start this episode outlining what this season is going to look like before we dig into our special interest topic (hello neurospiciness!)... NOTEBOOKS!
Turns out we have a lot to say about this modest form of capturing thoughts and ideas and we can't wait to share it with you. Let us know if this is a nerd out topic for you too!

S7, Ep. 11: BONUS EPISODE - A Look Back at 2024

Surprise! It's a bonus episode!That's right. We really hadn't planned to do a final round up of the year but Sarah kind of badgered Carla into it with a very specific reason in mind. The reason being, we both know how tough a year it's been for the both of us, and for many other small businesses and creatives out there. And we wanted to acknowledge that but also take a look at what GOOD stuff has happened to us both this year.We think you'll find this episode pretty cheering and hopefully a little bit inspiring too. It might even motivate you to take a peek at your own 2024 and see what good happened for you, too!As always, we'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

S7, Ep 10: Creative Mindset

We were so wowed by Lorraine (The Painless Piano Coach)'s story from the last episode that we knew we had to talk about our own creative mindset and how we overcame struggles we experienced for our creativity.Like many of our chats, this one wasn't about answering specific questions but it delved into a thorough exploration of our own creative journeys and the things we overcame to continue them. Listen in for some excellent back and forth on this topic!As always, we'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

S7, Ep 9: Creative Resilience with The Painless Piano Coach

We're all for showcasing something a little different here at Creative Reboot. So when Lorraine Robinson (otherwise known as The Painless Piano Coach) approached us and told us a little of her story, we knew we needed her to come on and share it all with you, too. Lorraine has been playing the piano since she was a child, and teaching it from a very young age, too. But the thing she loved most was also causing her incredible pain. Thinking she might have to give up doing the thing she loved, she found a teacher experienced in biometrics and now she teaches it to her students too. Lorraine's determination and resilience to keep being her most creative self shines through in this episode and we can't wait for you to hear it!As always, we'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.
