    mindfulness, marketing & mental health
    Jul 27 2023
    Often, our creative time is our anchor in an otherwise busy day, a moment of peace and mindfulness to centre ourselves. But what if our mindful & sefl care doesn't look like it "should"? If it doesn't fit in a neat little box? Today we chat about the influence of marketing a specific idea of mindfulness & self care, and how it shows up in creative spaces...and what we choose to do instead.

    Jul 14 2023

    Motivation, momentum, and productivity
    Jul 6 2023
