Stories. A staple of my life but not something I'd associated with my creative process until recent times.

I unpack my love of fictional stories where I get to know the deep feelings of characters and see myself reflected in the nuances of the human experience. And how accepting and embracing that love has guided me to see the importance of our own stories... the bigness and the full spectrum of them! This has invited me to embrace the messy, non-linear way of the creative process, and to see how I have denied some parts of it in the past.

The creative process is beautiful, unpredictable and unique with each client, and I feel it is time to reclaim the whole experience, rather than just looking to emulate the 'successful' parts. Stories have also become an integral part of my journey with clients, honouring and hearing their full stories so I can truly capture the essence of what they do and who they are, which is inevitably influenced by the wiggly journey it's taken to get there.

In this episode I mention the How to Fail podcast with Elizabeth Day, which I highly recommend for a dose of the magic in the mundane.
