  • How I Use My ‘Busy’ Periods to Book Up 6 Months of Projects in My Schedule
    Dec 4 2025

    If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of booking all of your projects at once, then falling into a quiet period... and then scrambling for more clients - this episode is the exact reframe you need!


    In this episode, I’m sharing the exact strategy I use to leverage my busiest periods - the seasons when I get the most enquiries - to get fully booked for the next 3–6 months.


    This is a switch to build sustainability and steadiness, rather than panic booking over and over again. It's a strategy that has kept me fully booked for eight years and finally got me out of feast and famine.


    ✨ Inside this episode:

    • Why busy seasons are your best opportunity for steadiness instead of burnout
    • How I leverage busy enquiry periods to book half of the year up
    • The simple mindset shifts that helped me escape the feast & famine cycle
    • What you can start doing right now to plan for future peace (without working more)


    This is a sneak peek of part of the strategy I teach inside Booked Not Busy - helping creative service providers get booked in advance, attract dreamy clients, and build a business that runs peacefully, even in the busiest seasons.

  • How to Book Dream Clients Without Doing Everything & Burning Out
    Oct 16 2025

    You don’t need to be everywhere, say everything, or do all the things to attract your dream clients!


    In this episode, I’m talking about why doing more can actually make it harder for the right clients to find and connect with you - and how clarity, intention, and simplicity can completely shift the way you show up and get booked.


    This is a gentle mindset reframe and a practical reminder: if you’ve been spreading yourself too thin, that might be the reason you’re feeling burnt out and attracting the wrong clients (ones who don’t want to pay your prices, aren’t aligned with your process, or just don’t light you up).


    Hope you enjoy this one! I'll be back this time next week with another 🥰

  • Why I Don’t Launch My Creative Services
    Oct 2 2025

    You don’t have to launch your creative services to be fully booked.


    In today’s episode, I’m sharing the real reason I don’t launch my design studio services - and what I do instead to keep my calendar consistently booked with dreamy clients (without the panic or pressure).


    Because while launches can work, they’re not the only way - and they’re definitely not the most peaceful way for everyone. I’ve found a strategy that supports my energy, gives me flexibility, and doesn’t rely on short bursts of visibility or sales.


    This episode is a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to build your business differently - even if it goes against the usual advice.


    Hope this one gives you permission to make your business your own 🧡 I’ll be back next week with more!
