On today's episode of Startup Mums - The Podcast I'm chatting to the gorgeous Melissa Banks about protecting your energy + creativity and why that's so important as a solo business owner.

We will also be talking about networking, finding your people, championing the creative voice of others, the new level of perspective that motherhood brings, honouring yourself and your unique perspective of the world and her fabulous collaboration Creator Co which see her and other creatives sending artworks around the world for each creator to make their marks then bring it all back home to Australia to create an exhibition!

Melissa is an artist, art therapist, creative process advocate and mumma of 2.

She worked in the disability and community sectors for 10 years supporting and advocating for the creative practice of others, facilitating art-making workshops, seeding community-based arts projects and was part of the founding team to deliver pioneering art therapy for patients receiving dialysis treatment.

After the birth of my youngest son she thought it was time r to truly walk the talk, dive into her creative practice and enter the 'start up world'.

Melissa Banks Studio now focuses on fine art (original art and prints as well as seasonal offerings) and creative advocacy through collaboration projects for artists.
