The Decaf Bubble Podcast

Happy Sunday ☁️I was asked this week how I get things done as a highly sensitive, neurospicy creative freelancer and this episode is my answer!!!For types like us, we have no problem ideating and dreaming up projects. We have no shortage of brilliant ideas. The real challenge is closing loops, finishing tasks and bringing projects to completion.The first 2 tips I share in this episode are deep mindset shifts that have made it possible for me to be someone who can commit to my projects, meet deadlines, schedule and deliver courses, run my membership, have a podcast and essentially (mostly) make it work as a freelancer.The last tip is more of a practical one i’ve implemented recently that has really helped me organise my tasks/thoughts!Let me know if these work for you!Love,Abi x~~~~~~~~JOIN THE BUBBLE COMMUNITY: decafbubble.com/bubble🫧 use code “BIRTHDAY” for 50% off your first month 🫧Doors close 31st March This is a public episode.

Hiiii!I hope your week has started off well. Today on the podcast I’m talking about sensitivity.As artists we’re constantly told to over-ride, push through and toughen up: that we’re being ‘too sensitive’ and making too much of a big deal about essentially putting our heart on a plate.But where does that pressure come from? And does it actually lead to better art? In my opinion there is a softer way, a way that makes the outcome of our work richer too. Even if it’s a longer road. That’s what the Decaf Bubble philosophy is all about.Enjoy, and let me know what you took away from the episode.Love,Abi xxx🫧🫧🫧Learn more about The Bubble, a membership community for artists here: decafbubble.com/bubbleUse code ‘BIRTHDAY’ for 50% off your first month ~ Doors close 31st March 2026 🫧🫧🫧 This is a public episode.

Hey friends,Apologies for getting this out a little late this week - it’s a chunky one ;)Today I’m opening up about some times when things didn’t work out as planned, the struggle of losing momentum on the creative path and giving up on certain dreams. But also, the wisdom that comes when the path humbles you…Small wins and micro-gains never feel like the height of glamour or a major flex at the time, but they form the strong root system that enables us to achieve the bigger visions and sustain them. They are truly the foundation of everything and they deserve their props! I hope this episode inspires you to keep putting in the daily reps I also have my first ever guest on this episode!!!!! Thank you to angel/talented writer/Bubble member/friend, Daisy for sharing your inspiring story with the pod!!With love,Abi🫧🫧🫧🫧The Bubble community is currently enrolling for new members!

Dear artist,You’re talented. Full of potential. Destined for greatness. And you know it.But there is always this gap between potential (what you know you’re capable of) and embodiment (what you actually realistically do).Living in the realm of potential and what-ifs can get addictive, especially with so many distractions vying for our attention.So in this episode I’m presenting an alternative: let’s condition our minds to get addicted to our creative projects…Thereby putting the hours in, and starting to close that potential → embodiment gap. There really is no better feeling.LOVE YA!Abi xPS LET ME KNOW YOU’RE LISTENING BY LIKING, SUBSCRIBING AND COMMENTING!

I hear artists asking this one question again and again in many forms, it always boils down to this: should my creativity just happen, or should I sit down every day and make sure it happens?I think we know deep down, that natural organic home-grown creativity feels WAY better than when we force it. There is nothing better than getting a visitation from the muse when we least expect it. And there is nothing worse than trying and trying and just ending up with… nothing.The idea that we have no control over when our creativity flows is disempowering, especially when it means our creativity falls to the bottom of our list each day. In this episode, I offer the best answer I’ve come up with so far.Love,Abi♥️JOIN THE BUBBLE / WEBSITE / INSTAGRAM This is a public episode.

Tech can be overwhelming. Especially if you’re a “sensitive creative type” 🙋‍♀️I started doing this set of calming, grounding actions to unplug whenever I found myself doom-scrolling and unable to stop… and found it actually worked amazingly well, so I turned it into a 7-step ritual to make it official.It’s a simple ritual you can do in less than an hour, it will get you back into your body and out of the online collective hallucination, whenever needed. I need it often. It always cleanses my aura of online noise-clutter and refreshes my spirit. It’s also good if you’re feeling anxious.Let me know how you get on!Lots of love xx Abi This is a public episode.
