In this episode I am walking you through some free and fairly simple ways in which you can make your website easier to access and navigate. This matters because it helps build more inclusive digital spaces, but it also saves time, is more eco-friendly and makes it easier to make connections and grow your business.
If you'd like more support around this, please consider booking a tech day with me: https://pinkwellstudio.com/magic/

In this episode I'm talking about four different ways I have often seen, in my own and other people's businesses, that too many offerings can actually be harmful to your success (of your own understanding!). Absolutely no shame if you are, like me, so excited about all the things and ideas and projects you could be working on - this is just a space to think through wether cutting back a little might feel good.

In this episode I'm talking about why I still feel glad not to be on social media, what I am doing to build & nurture community around my work this year and what I wish all of us would remember when we're feeling overwhelmed, not good enough or irrelevant while the world is on fire.
I hope this episode feels like a nice sounding board to check on on your own decisions around the use of technology.

Are you someone who shares on social media, writes newsletters or has a podcast? I hope this episode will give you some inspiration and ideas for creating a supportive structure around your content strategy. I am sharing three key questions I think we all need to address and then I am sharing how I practically map out my year, what I do or don't schedule and how I make space for launches as well as downtime.

In this episode I am sharing some questions, tips and tricks that have helped me make work work for my neurodivergent brain in more joyful and sustainable ways.

Broadly I am covering some important questions to ask yourself, ways to increase creative flow states, hold better boundaries, plan ahead & embrace imperfection.&n ..read more
