S7 Ep 9: Action Creates Clarity with Emily-Jane Sarroff

“It's a partnering of understanding and developing awareness whilst also taking action to build that belief in yourself, because action will build belief.” -Emily-Jane Sarroff I am joined on this episode by Australian brand artist Emily-Jane Sarroff for an inspiring conversation about the winding journey of embracing your creative self. Emily opens up about her decade-long path, from nearly pursuing a career in art to following a more "practical" route in architecture, only to realize years later that her soul longed for creativity. She shares raw moments of burnout, self-discovery, and the pivotal decision to leave behind the traditional markers of success to reconnect with her artistic roots.Emily takes us behind-the-scenes of her personal and professional pivots, from building—and then nearly walking away from—a successful business, to embarking on a solo adventure in Canada to rebuild her self-trust. Through honest reflection, she explores the power of asking “what if,” learning to redefine success, and finding daily joy—sometimes in the simplest things like watering flowers or supportive conversations with loved ones.Whether you’re an artist questioning your own path, or simply someone navigating change, Emily’s story is filled with wisdom, fresh perspective, and encouragement. Get ready for an episode that’s all about trusting your instincts, taking messy action, and finding fulfillment by leading with your creativity.Podcast NewsletterPodcast InstagramPodcast PatreonPodcast MerchPodcast Youtube Channel  Podcast Buy Me a Coffee Get in touch:Emily-Jane SarroffInstagramLinkedIn Ayana Major BeyWebsiteInstagram Show Sponsors: WeAudition: Get 25% off your membership when you use the code PIVOT, join at https://www.weaudition.com/Host & Exec.
