For the final episode of season 3, today I’m sharing a conversation with Suzy Glaskie, health coach and founder of Peppermint Wellness. Suzy helps burn-out perfectionists reclaim their health, energy and emotional resilience - something I was in desperate need of in August 2024. Suzy coached me for the second half of last year, and in this conversation we discuss how I reached burnout in my own practice as an illustrator, and the work we did together to find a way out of that, towards a more balanced, happy and infinitely more creative life.

If you’ve reached a point of creative burnout I hope some of the things we discussed in today’s episode were helpful for you. Thank you and I hope you’ve enjoyed listening to this season of Creative Rituals! 🩷

This week’s interview is with Bella Bowker. Bella is an artist and founder of her successful business Sew Bella, creating beautiful and unique personalised items using embroidery techniques. Bella first learnt to embroider whilst on crutches following an accident at university, and over the last five years her business has flourished, going on to work with some huge names including Jo Malone and Selfridges. Bella recently moved to Copenhagen, and we caught up to discuss what it’s like running her business from abroad, what she embroidered for her own wedding, and some of the crazy projects we’ve both worked on over the years.

This week we talk to artist and illustrator Emmy Porter, otherwise known as Emmy Oranges. As well as her work as an illustrator, Emmy also recently set up her business Art Ease, which seeks to provide workshops and artistic opportunities to her local area. Emmy is a shining light in her town of Southport, spreading colour and joy through her drawings and sunny disposition everywhere she goes. In this conversation we cover the role community plays in Emmy’s work, her brilliant shared studio space, how she took the leap from nursing to freelance life and the vulnerabilities that caused her to leave art school twice.
