September has whizzed by for us after a wonderful slow summer. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed when your workload moves from one extreme to another.
This month we are sharing tips and ideas to lighten the load a little and stay on track.

Letters From A Hopeful Creative
A podcast for creative humans who are ready to dive deep, dream big, and do life and business on their own terms every step of the way.
Brought to you by creative coaches Sara Tasker and Jen Carrington, every Monday they share a brand new episode answering a letter from a hopeful creative just like you.
We love the latest episode. If you’re struggling to decide what to automate, eliminate, and delegate in their business.

Another Escape is an outdoor lifestyle, creative culture and sustainable living publication that explores the stories of passionate people, alluring landscapes and intriguing ideas.

Pinterest Tip
STORY PINS
Story pins are a new way of sharing ideas on Pinterest. They can include multiple images, text, videos and destination links.
They offer an opportunity to tell a bigger story through visual inspiration when sharing your products and inspiration on Pinterest. We think they’re perfect for a tutorial or to showcase a range of products within one pin.
