The Peaceful Creatives Podcast

If your business already works - you’re booked, clients love your work, and money is coming in - but you can't seem to keep your projects on track and feel plagued by project scope, extended timelines and overlapping projects - I'm here for you!

“I’ve got all the pieces in place… but projects keep overlapping, timelines stretch, and being booked up feels stressful instead of steady.”

In this episode of The Peaceful Creatives Podcast, I’m talking about the systems that actually keep client work contained - so your calendar means something, projects finish when they’re supposed to, and being booked up starts to feel peaceful again.

These systems aren't creating rigid steps and formulas - it's creating BTS plans in the business so you can deal with whatever is thrown your way AND stay calm, collected and on track.

If you’ve raised your prices, or you’re ready to, but you’re noticing that enquiries are leaning towards your lower packages, it’s very easy to assume something is wrong - the market feels harder, people don’t want to invest or it can even feel like… they don’t want you.

But in most cases, that isn’t what’s happening.

In this episode of The Peaceful Creatives Podcast, I’m unpacking the real marketing mistakes that stop established creative service providers from booking high-ticket clients - even when their work is strong, their experience is solid, and their business technically “works”.

This isn’t about posting more, selling harder, or chasing visibility. It’s about whether the clients who are ready to invest £8k, £10k, £15k can actually see you as the person to get them where they want to go.

Big business goals are often positioned as the answer - more money, more momentum, more success. But what happens when your business is technically working… and still feels stressful, loud, or insecure?

In this episode of The Peaceful Creatives Podcast, I’m sharing why I stopped chasing big milestones and started prioritising steadiness instead and how that shift completely changed the way my business feels to run.

This is a big-picture conversation for established creative service providers who want to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control without losing ambition or success.

✨ Inside this episode:
Why big goals can quietly create pressure and reactivity
How a business can “work” and still feel exhausting
What I actually mean by steadiness (and what it isn’t)
The shift from chasing growth to leading with confidence
Why steadiness creates more sustainable success, not less

This is a sneak peek of part of the strategy I teach inside Booked Not Busy - helping creative service providers get booked in advance, attract dreamy clients, and build a business that runs peacefully and focuses on steadiness and consistency.

If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of booking all of your projects at once, then falling into a quiet period... and then scrambling for more clients - this episode is the exact reframe you need!

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact strategy I use to leverage my busiest periods - the seasons when I get the most enquiries - to get fully booked for the next 3–6 months.

This is a switch to build sustainability and steadiness, rather than panic booking over and over again. It's a strategy that has kept me fully booked for eight years and finally got me out of feast and famine.

✨ Inside this episode:
Why busy seasons are your best opportunity for steadiness instead of burnout
How I leverage busy enquiry periods to book half of the year up
The simple mindset shifts that helped me escape the feast & famine cycle
What you can start doing right now to plan for future peace (without working more)

This is a sneak peek of part of the strategy I teach inside Booked Not Busy - helping creative service providers get booked in advance, attract dreamy clients, and build a business that runs peacefully, even in the busiest seasons.

You don’t need to be everywhere, say everything, or do all the things to attract your dream clients!

In this episode, I’m talking about why doing more can actually make it harder for the right clients to find and connect with you - and how clarity, intention, and simplicity can completely shift the way you show up and get booked.

This is a gentle mindset reframe and a practical reminder: if you’ve been spreading yourself too thin, that might be the reason you’re feeling burnt out and attracting the wrong clients (ones who don’t want to pay your prices, aren’t aligned with your process, or just don’t light you up).
