What better way to return to the Brand Seasons community than with a guest episode of the podcast? Especially in a week that celebrates International Women’s Day and the theme of using our voices to accelerate action.
Over the past 10 months, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with so many inspiring women, and one of the biggest rewards has been seeing those conversations resonate far and wide. Today’s guest,
— writer, mentor and the voice behind What Now? — is no exception.In this third episode of this special four-part bonus series, Lindsay and I explore curiosity as a guiding force, the power of staying open to change, and the magic that unfolds when we allow our creative work to take on a life of its own. We discuss the realities of managing big projects, navigating creative rest, and how experimentation can open the door to unexpected opportunities.
Lindsay also shares insights from her own experiences — from writing memoir to building a community right here on Substack — as we delve into the changing seasons of our creative lives.
We also explore topics such as:
The role of curiosity in creativity and personal growth
Letting go of rigid goals and embracing experimentation
Navigating transitions in creative projects and writing
Finding connection across platforms like Substack and Instagram
Balancing structure and openness in both writing and business
Highlights include:
How Lindsay approaches writing memoir and the process of serialising her book Held in Mind
Insights into her Cost of Caring series and how personal storytelling can foster community
The power of reciprocity and collaboration in creative work
