The Creative Babes Club podcast is a space for candid, creative conversations, where we embrace the ‘ebbs and flows’ and realities of being a creative babe.

I am Alice, founder of the ‘club. And I am all about creative wellbeing… As a once overwhelmingly burnt out, anxious creative, I know how uncreative we can feel… and how, as life is life-ing, and our to-do list gets longer… our creativity can take a back seat. I help creatives give space for their creativity, their creative ideas and to grow their creative circles.

For this season of ‘mini series’, I am connecting with creatives, business owners and industry experts, who share their own creative journeys, knowledge and flair. As well as sharing my own creative thoughts, musings and learnings that swirl around my mind with you. And as an overthinking, OCD, sensitive, creative soul… I got a lot of ‘em.

Subscribe to the "Creative Babes Club" podcast and let's keep the conversation flowing: leave a review, share your thoughts on the topics we explore, your own creative experiences... I am always up for a creative chat. Become a Creative Babes Club member, and find more information on ways to connect and how we can work together.
