Hello, and welcome back to the Brand Seasons podcast, a space to explore the rhythms of our creative lives and work. I'm your host, designer, mentor, and writer, Sarah Robertson.
Today, I touch on the season of Season of Sowing and the concepts of waiting, tending and pacing. I also talk about supporting our creativity, permission to be imperfect and bringing playfulness into our days. I then consider how we can build a sustainable business and use our intuition to guide us.
I quoted the author Megan Smalley, who, in sharing her experience of infertility, said: “There is purpose in your season of waiting.” While this is something I can personally appreciate after my own experience of secondary infertility and recurrent miscarriage, I believe we can find freedom in our season of waiting within our businesses and creative practices, too.
I mentioned my interview on the Space to Think podcast, and the episode about creativity and improvisation airs on Thursday, 20th June. I also published a post about the natural rhythm of growth and change, where I share more on the season I find myself in, at the point of recording.

In this first conversation of the series, creative business coach and wedding photographer Anna Dunleavy joins me to dig into the season of sowing. Together, we explore:
taking the first steps towards our goals and planscreating a podcast and our fears of public speakingkeeping ideas to ourselves vs releasing them into the wildWe also touch on generating ideas, and Anna shares her thoughts on movement and nature in supporting cognitive and creative functioning and processing.
Find Anna on Instagram and Substack, and learn more about her creative business coaching practice and wedding photography business. You can also find her on Instagram and Substack.
In our discussion, I mentioned a quote about protecting our ideas to preserve their energy. While I can't recall the exact words or their origins, the idea is simply that it can be helpful to keep some thoughts sacred until they feel safe enough to share.
