Before delving into today’s episode, I'd first like to mention my upcoming Kickstarter, which launches on Monday 16th September. You can join the waitlist and be the first to learn about the Brand Seasons Playdeck, a pocket-sized deck of cards to support you through the branding process, and enjoy the early bird rewards!
After a brief summer break, I’m delighted to welcome fellow designer and business owner Liz Mosley to the podcast.
Together, we consider the Season of Harvesting and focus on:
navigating launches and nurturing an audience
handling rejection and reframing it as redirection
making space for celebration in business
I love how Liz has flipped the script on rejection and turned it into a positive and playful experience. It even inspired my own rejection challenge and subsequent reflections, so I enjoyed going deeper and wider on the topic.
We also touch on repurposing content and showing up and sharing in ways that feel more easeful, energising and enjoyable. And I loved contemplating how we can play to our strengths, learn from others and grow our businesses in ways that support us.
How do you feel about launching? Are you comfortable with navigating rejection and disappointment? And do you ever celebrate yourself in business?
Thanks for listening, and remember you can find bonus content from guests along with articles on strategy, styling and storytelling, right here on my Brand Seasons publication.

Freedom lies in being bold, and if you’re looking for deeper meaning, you can carve your own path with a combination of coaching and psychology, where you'll be guided through the wood, the trees and the spaces in between.
