In this episode of Marketing Musings, I’m diving into four words that sparked equal parts expansion and resistance in me: let it be shit.

When I was on a writing retreat and saw that phrase printed across our sweatshirts, something in me lit up — and tightened at the same time. Because if I’m honest, I’ve built so much of my life on over-performing, over-delivering, and trying to avoid failure at all costs. From competitive trampolining as a child to being the “give it to Em, she’ll handle it” employee in my corporate career, I learned very early on that being “enough” meant never slipping up.

So the idea of willingly letting something be bad? Letting it be messy? Letting it not work?

It felt almost unbearable.

But in this episode, I explore why that exact permission, to create badly, to start without knowing the outcome, to risk it not landing, is actually the gateway to our best, most alive work.

In this episode, I’m coming to the mic from a bit of a funky state of being.

I’ve just returned from a life-changing trip where I felt like my most aligned and expressed self and I’m navigating what it means to land back in an environment that doesn’t immediately feel like that.

I talk about the creative crisis I slipped into. The dramatic thought that I might “never create again.” And how sitting with that part of me led me to a deeper realisation:

The muse isn’t fragile.

We’ve just been taught to mould her until she is.

In this episode, I explore:

• Why expressing through creativity alters your entire state of being
• How marketing stopped being about “sharing to sell” and became a space where I feel fully expressed
• The danger of starting from strategy instead of aliveness
• Writing from anxiety, chaos, heartbreak and doubt and why those pieces still matter
• Why marketing without creativity is just words on a page
• How to return to yourself as the gracious muse of your own marketing

If you’ve been doubting your creativity…
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect conditions…
If you’ve felt like your voice has gone quiet…

This one is for you.

In this episode, I share what really happened on my Costa Rica writing retreat and why barely writing was the most important part of it.

I talk about creativity beyond discipline, the three creative departments (creative, editing, publishing), and the uncomfortable realisation that even as conscious marketers, we can accidentally perpetuate pressure instead of aliveness.

This trip reminded me that we are creators before we are marketers and that the best ideas don’t come from trying harder, but from living more fully.

If your marketing has started to feel forced, heavy, or like a performance… this episode is your permission slip to come back to life as your greatest muse.
