Creative Reboot

S6, Ep. 1: Intro Episode - Welcome to 2023!

And then suddenly it was 2023 and a new season of Creative Reboot is gearing up! Honestly, we can't quite get our heads around where the time has gone and the fact that this is SEASON SIX! How on earth?!
We're kicking off the season with a little intro episode because it's going to be a little bit longer before we get started with our episodes for this year. We're changing up the format this year but you'll need to listen in to this episode to find out exactly how. We'll explain all there.
We started this episode with a little review of the year just gone and then a look forward to the year that is coming. As is our way, we totally rabbited on and ran over time so maybe ramp us up to 1.5x speed or something to get through this one fast! Or, you know, take a long walk to have a good listen!
We'll see you soon with the first of our episodes for this year!

S5, Ep. 15: Creative Block

Wow, it's our final episode of this season and for the year (although we *might* be bringing you a bonus Christmas episode, if we can pull our finger out and get it done in time!). This episode is a direct follow on from last week's episode about inspiration, because, of course, we can't just talk about the good stuff, we have to address the bad and how we can overcome it, right? The word "block" is one of those phrases in the creative world that usually draws a raised eyebrow, a sage nod and a hmmm of understanding. Most of us have experienced it at one point or another. But it's all about how you manage to get past it that matters! Listen in for our top tips!Do let us know what you think of the episode!We'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

And that's a wrap for 2022! We do hope you've enjoyed listening to this season just as much as we've enjoyed recording it and bringing it to you. We're still figuring out how this podcast is going to look in 2023 so jump on our mailing list or follow us on IG and FB to be the first to hear what's happening in the new year!https://creativereboot.co/Creative fizz and whistles!Carla & Sarah xxx

S5, Ep. 14: Inspiration

Consider this a part one episode if you will... because in this episode we talk about inspiration, what inspires us and how we find inspiration in our every day lives. And in part two, coming next, we'll be talking about creative blocks. Two big, but related topics, that needed a double-whammy of an episode to say everything we wanted to say. In this meandering part one episode, we find out a lot about each other along the way (love it when that happens) and we'd love to hear from you about what inspires you too!Do let us know what you think of the episode!We'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

S5, Ep. 13: Creativity in Marketing with Charelle Griffith

A Marketing Strategist and Business Mentor for coaches, consultants and service-based business owners with a passion for supporting solopreneurs and small business owners, Charelle focuses on taking the overwhelm out of marketing and instead creates marketing strategies that help her clients to shine online, consistently create content that converts, and ultimately build a thriving business that supports the lifestyle they desire.Carla wrote pages of notes during our chat, Sarah couldn't stop thanking Charelle for all the wisdom and permission slips she was throwing around.

S5, Ep. 12: Unfinished Projects

Bit of a rambling episode this week that started with an experience and an idea. So much so, we didn't even really know what to call this episode to start with! As we talked though, we realised we were talking about all those unfinished creative projects we've started and never finished over the years. Not because we don't want to finish them, not because we ran out of time, but maybe because it's just not the right time for them right now.That's just one of our random thoughts anyway. Take a listen and see what you think!We hope you enjoy the episode!We'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

S5, Ep9: Creative Burn Out

A tough topic, especially as, for one of us at least, the feelings were definitely still recent and raw, but creative burnout is something we've all experienced definitely more than once in our creative journeys, so it felt right to have an episode about it this season.We talk all about our experiences of burnout, how we recognise it (eventually!) and how we feel it can be dealt with and, better yet, prevented. There are plenty of nuggets of wisdom in this episode so have a listen!We hope you enjoy the episode!We'd love it if you could rate us (5 stars please!) and write a review for us on your favourite podcast platform.

S5, Ep. 8: Personal Projects

We started with a rough idea of talking about personal projects, what they are and how we incorporate them into our busy schedules. But it quickly became apparent we had different ideas about what a personal project really was!
What ensued was an interesting delve into this topic and, we'll be honest, we didn't really come up with any firm answers. But one thing's for sure, it was an interesting topic and we'd really love to hear YOUR thoughts about what a personal project is!

S5, Ep. 7: Creative Time

A same-day epiphany for us both instigated this particular topic and chat and we think you can hear the joy and wonder and excitement in both our voices as we talk about it! We're talking about creative time in this episode, about making space to be creative not just to actually create something but also to enjoy creativity and let our brains mull things over and come up with new ideas.
