Meet Erin | Becoming a Full Time Artist After Motherhood

In this episode I'm joined by Erin Murray, a mixed media artist based in Ottawa, Canada, who stepped into life as a full time artist after becoming a mum. We talk about the courage it takes to finally call yourself an artist, the "why not me?" moment that shifted everything for Erin, and the way motherhood has reshaped how she creates and shows up in her work.Erin shares how she protects her creative time through a busy season of life, why she treats Instagram as a tool rather than a measure of her worth, and how letting go of pressure has brought play and joy back into her practice. If you're a creative business owner trying to carve out space for your own work, this one is full gentle encouragement. Connect with Erin here [https://erinmurrayart.com/]. Enjoyed this episode?

Meet Lezanne | When the Sauna Became the Studio

In this episode, the tables are turned. Fellow artist Anuschka Barlas interviews Lezanne Scott about her upcoming solo exhibition, Löyly, and the month-long artist residency in Finland that inspired it. They talk about the Finnish sauna as a place of equality and deep connection, what it means to spend a month without digital distraction, and how stillness became central to this body of work.

Meet Christine | The Sabbatical That Changed Everything

What happens when someone who has built an incredible creative career suddenly stops, not because they want to, but because they have to? In this episode, I'm joined by Christine Meintjes, internationally acclaimed photographer and co-founder of some of South Africa's most loved creative brands. After years of building, launching, and leading, Christine hit a wall. In 2025, she took a sabbatical and used that time to reconnect with herself and her creativity. We talk about burnout, freedom, learning to say no, and what it really means to come back to yourself as a creative. You can connect with Christine here [https://www.christinemeintjes.com/].

Meet Jacobi | On Perseverance and Finding Your People

Jacobi de Villiers is an opera singer, music teacher, and the creative force behind Jakop, a handmade product business she has been quietly building for six years in Cape Town. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to keep going when things don't work out, how to build the right support team around you, and why knowing which season you're in matters so much as a creative. Jacobi is currently in full harvest mode, and it is such a joy to witness. This conversation is full of warmth, honesty, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from years of perseverance. I hope it fills you up. You can learn more about Jakop here [https://jakop.co.za/]. Enjoyed this episode?
