Is it time to embrace change in your creative business?

In today's episode (160) of the EAT, CAPTURE, SHARE podcast (the first of season 14!) I'm chatting with brand strategist, creative director, food stylist and host of the Nourishing Creativity podcast, Carla Contreras.

If you've lost focus and vision in your creative business, or just feel stuck and are ready to make the rest of 2025 count, then this is your episode! Tune into a nourishing chat where we explore working with the inevitable changes in our businesses and showing up fully as creative beings. Carla's fearless, positive energy will encourage you to embrace opportunities and growth in your business this year.
