S8, Ep 8: Planning Part 2
As promised, here's part 2 to our epic planning chat we started last month. We've deemed this "Special Interest" territory because honestly we could probably talk about this for a least a whole season if you gave us the chance! In this episode we talk about everything from function over form to...
-
S8, Ep7: Planning (Part 1)
What happens when you get two neurodivergent people onto the topic of planning? A double whammy episode... that's what happens! We can hardly believe we've not tackled this topic in an official capacity here on the podcast before. Suffice it to say, we have tons to chat about and hopefully…

-
S8, Ep 4 - Get Sh*t Done Panel Discussion Episode
Well heck, we think we've outdone ourselves on this one. This episode is an extra special BUMPER episode, by which we mean it's a solid 2 hours long and full of epicness! Don't worry, you don't have to listen to it all in one sitting (we're ADHD, we get it). But we do think it's worth listening…
more -
S8, Ep 3: Work & Play
Welcome to this episode of the Creative Reboot podcast! We couldn't resist going all playful this month. That's right, we tackled the topic of work vs play! It turns out our neurodivergent brains have had us doing a lot of unlearning over the last couple of years and we're gamifying, playing and...
-
S8, Ep 2: Fear & Visibility
Welcome to this episode of the Creative Reboot podcast!

S7, Ep. 11: BONUS EPISODE - A Look Back at 2024
Surprise! It's a bonus episode! That's right. We really hadn't planned to do a final round up of the year but Sarah kind of badgered Carla into it with a very specific reason in mind. The reason being, we both know how tough a year it's been for the both of us, and for many other small businesses...
-
S7, Ep 10: Creative Mindset
We were so wowed by Lorraine (The Painless Piano Coach)'s story from the last episode that we knew we had to talk about our own creative mindset and how we overcame struggles we experienced for our creativity. Like many of our chats, this one wasn't about answering specific questions but it…

S7, Ep 9: Creative Resilience with The Painless Piano Coach
We're all for showcasing something a little different here at Creative Reboot. So when Lorraine Robinson (otherwise known as The Painless Piano Coach) approached us and told us a little of her story, we knew we needed her to come on and share it all with you, too. Lorraine has been playing the...

-
S7, Ep 5: Telling Your Story in PR with Lilian Sue
You'll notice a theme in this month's episode... the theme of us both gasping in realisation and delight at all the juicy goodness Lilian Sue shares with us about her experiences with PR! That's the topic on the block and Lilian really brings her A-game as she shares how we can get super...

S6, Ep. 6: Money with Rosie Slosek
We've tackled the money topic before here on Creative Reboot, but we don't think anyone has ever dug into it quite like this. Forget number-crunching and specifics, we're digging into flow and feelings. Yes, that's what we said. Flow and feelings all linked to your finances! Rosie lays it bare…
more -
S6, Ep. 5: Visibility with Melissa Love & Vicki Farr
It's our first episode with two guests joining us at the same time! You'd think chaos would ensue but, actually, all the gems were flying! Melissa Love is the founder of The Design Space and The Marketing Fix, which is an epic membership both Carla and Sarah are part of and wouldn't dream of...

more -
S5, Ep. 14: Inspiration
Consider this a part one episode if you will... because in this episode we talk about inspiration, what inspires us and how we find inspiration in our every day lives.

more -
S5, Ep. 12: Unfinished Projects

S5, Ep9: Creative Burn Out
A tough topic, especially as, for one of us at least, the feelings were definitely still recent and raw, but creative burnout is something we've all experienced definitely more than once in our creative journeys, so it felt right to have an episode about it this season. We talk all about our...
-
S5, Ep. 8: Personal Projects
We started with a rough idea of talking about personal projects, what they are and how we incorporate them into our busy schedules. But it quickly became apparent we had different ideas about what a personal project really was! What ensued was an interesting delve into this topic and, we'll be...
-

A same-day epiphany for us both instigated this particular topic and chat and we think you can hear the joy and wonder and excitement in both our voices as we talk about it! We're talking about creative time in this episode, about making space to be creative not just to actually create something...
-
S5, Ep. 6: Writer’s Retreat Fireside Chat

-
S5, Ep 5: Creative Spaces
