Ep 097: Be more dog, with coach and energy expert Michael Overlie, founder of Dogs and Men

Dogs are zen-masters and intrinsically know how to unconditionally love and live big, juicy and creative. So, having just got a puppy, I've invited a coach who uses dogs to help people grow personally, professionally and spiritually - especially men. Dogs and Men founder Michael Overlie is author of 'Let your dog lead -musings on how to create an exceptional life' and also describes himself as an energy healer. He thinks dogs are the perfect way to help men express themselves better, open up to their feelings and – wince -show some vulnerability. He talks very openly about how dogs have helped him personally through some really tough moments in life such as his brother dying. I love Michael’s mission and the sooner we can get more emotionally intelligent men in touch with their empathy and caring side, the better. After all, if world leaders could be coached by dogs, I'm sure the world would be all the better for it.  For more on Michael and his work see: https://linktr.ee/SpiritDog This includes links to blogs, his own podcast Dogs and Men, his book and coaching information.

Ep 096: When the skin you're in doesn't feel right, including your gender; the colourful multi-creative career &..

I've wanted to have a big juicy chat with someone who has transitioned gender for a while now. My two sons talk very openly about gender, and about people they know that don't feel right in their skin.... whereas this was never talked about when I was young. I wanted to talk to someone who would talk honestly about what this experience is like - and Jo Sutherland absolutely doesn't disappoint on this front. Jo first had surgery to transition from male to female in her early 20s – the story she tells of growing up as a boy is so insightful, so touching, so honest and, at times, heartbreaking. She takes pains to point out that self-acceptance doesn’t magically happen when you transition, even if it’s absolutely the right thing to do for you. And even if it isn’t totally botched up, as hers sadly was. As she says, we are all works in progress. In fact I soon realised that – while I wanted to learn about gender – talking to Jo ended up being so relevant to my own situation because it’s about being human… about seeking and finding and evolving your identity. It’s just a bit more challenging if that identity doesn’t feel right in the skin you’re born in. It helps that Jo is also an endlessly fascinating character who has constantly reinvented herself, from hairdresser to prison worker to engineer to lawyer to actor and back to hairdresser! She even wrote a script about her life in lockdown. If anyone can talk authoritatively about finding your voice and the roles we play, it's her.

Ep 095: Living the scarytale instead of the dream, and how to rewrite your story, with public speaking champ Verity Pric

Verity Price beat 30,000 other aspiring speakers to become Africa’s first Toastmasters world champion, and the 6th woman in 80 years to win the prestigious accolade. In this funny, honest, sometimes toe-curling episode, Verity tells us her ‘scarytale’ of going from a ragged life, to a rich one. She explains how NOT ticking all the boxes society expected of her by 40 (husband, kids, career, own house, etc) was actually – eventually – the making of her… once she’d figured out how to build her resilience and find her voice. Oh, and ditch the dream of being a Hollywood actress/ popstar. A tricky, but wholly worthwhile road. (A detour that, incidentally, also led to Prince Charming, too...). If you’ve ever not done something expected of you and felt bad about it, or felt you're not living an instagrammable #winninglife, this episode will help. It will also help you reframe painful experiences as opportunities to grow and be less outcome-based and more moment-based. And genuinely enjoy the moment, rather than kid yourself that you are. Verity – whose name fittingly means ‘truth’ – will inspire you to tell yours. You can see her brilliant award winning talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k24vGzEjePo You can find her on Instagram here: @iamverity LinkedIn: Verity Price, WCPS www.iamverity.com To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see: Instagram: @bigjuicycreativeliving Facebook @bigjuicycreativeliving LinkedIn: @suzybashford Twitter: @suzybashford  contact Suzy: suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk

Ep 094: How to be healthy & happy, with multi-creative GP Zain Kapasi

GPs have such a unique insight into what makes us healthy, and the state of a nation. And what I find so unique and fascinating about today's guest - Dr Zain Kapasi - is he couples this insight with huge self-awareness and desire to learn from his own experiences. I was feeling a bit bleurgh when I sat down to edit this episode and, afterwards, Zain totally cheered me up and inspired me to get back to chipping away at the habits I know help me. He also reminded me that happiness and contentment are, often, choices. And how we structure our lives, so it contains joy, is a choice, as well as a creative act in itself. Even if we're busy people with high pressure jobs, families and other responsibilities. He talks about the habits and routines he has practiced which have made such a difference to his contentment levels – one of the game changing routines being a creative one, where he gets up early to draw. Zain explains how he sees the difference between pleasure and contentment. And the fact he believes we’re all on a bit of a rollercoaster everyday, with our mood fluctuating. But again we’ve got choices about how we ride this rollercoaster. He’s got so many great ideas of things to fit in your day, your week to feel better, be more creative and enhance relationships - I'm definitely going to nick them! Zain has a zest and curiosity for life that you can't help find infectious.  For more on Zain: You can read his blog here: https://thegeneralprocrastinator.com/ And watch the social space, as Zain is planning to run retreats aimed at medics, and also has a children's book in the making - both of which we'll shout about on Big Juicy Creative's social channels, which you can find here: To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see: Instagram: @bigjuicycreativeliving Facebook @bigjuicycreativeliving LinkedIn: @suzybashford contact Suzy: suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk

Ep 093: Writing to heal everything, from everyday frustrations to trauma, with author & coach Jackee Holder

I was totally awestruck when I first heard Jackee Holder speak. You could hear a pin drop in the massive room, so compelling was the way she told her story. This generous, kind, beautiful soul refuses to let childhood trauma define her or damage her, but she constantly turns to creativity instinctively to heal. She helps others do this, and find their voices in general as she believes - as I do - that everyone has a story, their story, to tell, and has a right to do this. Jackee's words are like a warm, comforting cup of tea and - while the word 'authentic' is totally overused - it's completely fitting for her. Whether you consider yourself a writer or not, writing is such a fantastic way to process our emotions and make sense of our lives. As she says 'the rough stuff equals the write stuff'. We can, as she does, grow from our hard experiences. If you would like a wee nudge to get writing, or get started, this is the episode for you. Or you are processing trauma/difficulty, this will inspire you. You can find Jackee here: Instagram: @jackeeholderinspires www.jackeeholder.com You can follow me on: Instagram: @bigjuicycreativeliving Facebook: @bigjuicycreativeliving LinkedIn: @suzybashford or drop me a line on suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk

Ep 092: Back from the brink: why I fell off a creative cliff into a very large black hole & how I got out of it...

You know that way when women are described as a 'hot mess' and it's meant to convey that, while chaotic, there is still something a bit sexy about them? Yeah? OK. Well, that is NOT me in this episode. I am just fully a mess, with sadly not the hot bit. I describe this mental state I was in recently - which led to my falling off a creative cliff - in its full brutality and ugliness, with no glamourising. Why??! I'm hoping that you will feel better about your own particular flavour of messiness - because all humans have some. All humans have ups and downs, too. It's just we choose not (usually) to reveal them to the world, even to our friends, and especially not on social media. I think that's toxic for all our mental health.  So that's why I'm coming clean: because the shame that so many people feel when they have down periods, makes them much worse. And, as Brene Brown says, the way to stop the shame is to shine a light on it. Which is what I am trying to do here; channel my inner lighthouse. I also don't believe in the tortured, anxious artist archetype who is massively productive when their mind is having a mental health moment. I think our minds are most productive and creative when we look after them and they can access some stillness- and I describe the ways I do this in this episode. Most importantly is a sense of connection and community; I describe here the role of wild swimming with Cairngorms Wild Swimmers, martial arts at HMAC and Crossfit Cairngorms, in my recovery. So, remember folks, while this podcast is optimistically called Big Juicy Creative - there is actually no such thing as a big, juicy, creative life 24/7. And, in REAL life, the low times lead us to the high times - often higher BECAUSE of the low times. As you'll hear from this episode, I've learnt alot from this latest blip - and there are exciting big juicy creative adventures on the horizon because of it. Thanks for listening and for all the messages listeners sent me in my absence.

Ep 091: how to have those big juicy tricky conversations, with psychologist Sarah Rozenthuler

As well as a chartered psychologist, Sarah Rozenthuler is also a leadership coach and a motivational speaker and author –this episode is centred around her book 'How to Have Meaningful Conversations'. If you've ever struggled to express yourself in a tricky situation, especially where emotions run high, then this is a must-listen. As you’ll hear, she truly sees conversation as a creative process – or rather a co-creative process.  She talks touchingly about why this subject is so close to her heart, particularly in relation to the conversations she had with her ex-husband, which she says she wouldn’t have written the book had she not gone through that process. She also opens up about her spiritual side, and the role she thinks telling our story plays in our happiness as humans. For more on Sarah: See https://sarahrozenthuler.com/ To buy her book 'How to Have Meaningful Conversations' click here To get in touch with Suzy, host of Big Juicy Creative, see www.bigjuicycreative.co.uk or email suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk

Ep090: Culture loves to pit women against women & it's toxic. It's got to stop. Here's why and how

Culture loves a good cat fight. Think Megan vs Kate. Angelina vs Aniston. It loves to make it seem like women are constantly hating on each other. Besides from being bulls**t, it's really damaging to peddle these narratives (but culture, as always, has a reason for doing it which is also toxic). I talk to comms expert Beth Collier about why and we plan our forthcoming Zoom brainstorm to creatively tackle this problem! (Join us - DM me/ suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk).  Namely, the nasty narrative distracts from getting female voices heard - and, with all the problems with world is currently facing, we need more feminine qualities coming to the fore to solve them. Like empathy, collaboration, nurturing, listening, creativity..... Of course men can have these too but we're not exactly seeing them in spades from our male leaders right now, are we? Please note, no bras were harmed or burned in the making of this episode. Why on earth would we do that? Bras are bloomin' expensive.

Ep089: Why and how good communications skills will make your entire life better, personally and professionally, with cre

Beth Collier believes that when you improve your communications skills, you’ll improve everything. Your performance. Your relationships. Your life. And she helps people do that. She even has her own special acronym to help people get their messages out more effectively – PACE. She's a curious creative soul whose curiosity has led her on many different paths and to many different countries from working in TV in Hollywood to, now, campaigning for more creativity in the financial services industry. She’s also a massive advocate of supporting other women. In fact, to that end, Beth and I are hosting a Zoom call 2nd December bringing women together to brainstorm creative ideas of how we can support each other more, and get more female stories being told and heard. Given how much female voices are drowned out by males, especially where it matters (did you see the sea of suits at COP26?!) this is something we both feel very passionate about. DM me, or email suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk, for details! The more the merrier! For more on Beth: Website: www.beth-collier.com Her newsletter, Curious Minds: https://bethcollier.substack.com/ Beth has a program called Creativity for Business for corporate clients to show them that creativity is not a skill reserved for artists. She's about to launch a new workshop tailored for Internal Communicators (called Creativity for IC).

Ep 088: Why (and how) we all need to slow down, for our own good, and the planet's, with pattern obsessive and design..

Since I’ve come out of lockdown I’ve felt like life has ramped up so quickly. I’m exhausted. I know if I keep going as fast, burn out is around the corner. I know I’m not alone. There’s so much talk at the moment about people burning out. It’s obvious that our go-go-go more-more-more do-do-do lifestyles of crash and burn is killing us. Not to mention killing the planet. Today’s podcast guest Anna Murray of creative company Patternity, uses nature to influence the way she lives, and the way she creates, in a much more seasonal, rhythmical way. Anna believes this is a much better, more joyful, sustainable, fulfilling healthy way to live. And she explains why on today’s episode. She also believes creativity is hugely undervalued in our culture but is actually the key to changing our lives for the better, and making them sustainable. If you feel any craving in you to live a bit slower and more sustainably (I do!) then tune in. More than anyone I’ve talked to before, Anna inspired me to stop spouting about how I’m going to slow down and actually DO IT. This was a really joyful, hopeful, uplifting conversation even though we cover some heavy topics – like the end of the planet!!

Ep 087: I get interviewed on my podcast (and it's probably my most honest interview yet - eek)

I'm usually the one doing the interviewing, but in this episode I get interviewed on my own podcast - and I realise how easy it is to blurt out stuff you've never admitted before on air, when you're enjoying the banter.... I'm interviewed by the lovely Lizzie Benton who I met on LinkedIn (don't judge us, it's more fun than it sounds), who then came on my podcast and who then knitted me a fabulous rainbow crown to remind me of my worth. We cover some hardcore topics, as well as lots of amusing ones… like the hardest things we’ve ever had to say…. Disappointing people, especially family members…. Why hairdressers are cringe... Depression…. Female bullies… Why it can be hard for women to voice uncomfortable truths…. Why companies talk crap about embracing creativity…. Having the balls to live the life you want to, rather than the one you’re told you should… Basically, it's a brilliant convo between two women who have been through some emotional adversity and so, now, are determined to live big juicy and creative.

Ep 086: Be brave enough to embrace the chaos of who we really are, masculine & feminine, with 'genderfabulous' fa.

Fashion designer and gender fluidity campaigner RobRoy SW admits that he is stubborn. He is chaos. He is weird. And he's learnt that, rather than fight all these different parts of himself, he's much better off embracing them and finding a way to express them all. Life got better when he fully embraced his feminine side, which he now expresses through his drag queen alter ego Sigh Wren. I loved his perspective on expressing our feminine and masculine sides to be ‘genderfabulous’ (this is a good episode if you want more clarity around terminology here, as I did, especially if your kids are talking about gender to you - as mine are). It's taken him 53 years, and it's been a long and, at times, very painful journey but I feel very privileged that he shared it with me with such honesty.

Ep 085: Why creating for creativity's sake has benefits way beyond just financial value (and why money can't buy some.

The biggest thing that stops us from creating for creativity's sake - like no one's watching, as I always advocate in this podcast's jingle - is often money. We measure 'value' and 'payback' so much in exclusively financial terms in our culture. And I get it - I forget that creativity has a value way beyond financial sometimes. Doing this podcast reminded me of the huge payback this podcast has given me over the last year - some of these benefits are ones that money can't buy. And some of them really surprised me. For my top learnings after a year of Big Juicy Creative podcasting, listen in! And please share with anyone who might benefit from this reminder, too.

Ep 084: Creativity to stop the spiral into depression or low(er) mood

Exhaustion and stress in personal relationships are two things that probably have the biggest detrimental effect on my creative mojo - and both of these things have been a feature in my life recently. As no stranger to depressive illness, I know how important it is to manage emotions (rather than repress them) and creativity is the best way I've found to process difficult feelings. I share a few ways creativity helps me move my feelings on, so they don't spiral. I hope you find it helpful and if you think it could help someone else, please share!

Ep 083: Stop talking about it, and JUST. DO. IT. Like I try to in this episode....

Artist Claire Macdonald (last week's episode - 82)'s work has really inspired me. She talks about how art is a gateway, for all of us, for understanding, empathy, connection, joy, play, meaning- so many benefits! I want to experience these benefits so, inspired by Claire, I decide in this episode to create an art installation (even though I don't really have a scoobie how to do this) in the woods. She advises me on how to go about doing this, believing that art installations, and art in general, are definitely not just for people that call themselves artists. She also advises: drop the perfectionism and just do it, don't obsess about the outcome because the experience of creating IS the art, and where you reap all these benefits. I thought after a year talking so much about creativity and pushing yourself out your creative comfort zone, I should put my money where my mouth is. This is the start of it. An art installation will be created soon to mark a year of the Big Juicy Creative podcast! Over to you - what are you going to create, so you too can reap all these big juicy benefits of being creative?

Claire has spent hours and hours researching the effect of art, and particularly creating art in collaboration with others, on wellbeing. But you just have to listen to this one hour to reap all the benefits of her wisdom! Clue: creativity is really good for our health. Especially if we do it in our communities.  In this episode she pulls out her key takeaways so we can all benefit, and create spaces around us where we thrive.

Ep 081: Don't judge me! But you will... here's how to handle judgement better

We all judge people. It's human.    And it's increasingly encouraged in our digital world.   But being judgmental is not good for us, for others or for our creativity.   We can learn how to be more open & less judgy. Here's what I'm doing to address my judgy-ness - especially when it comes to a certain group of women that I judge particularly harshly (and makes me a bit of a hypocrite).

Ep 080: how creativity can help you heal, find your identity & live bigger, with professional dancer & (my!) ...

Within a few minutes interviewing dancer James Montgomery we are talking about sexual fluidity, bullying and vulnerability - and how creativity can help you build your confidence and be who you really are. That gives the measure of this no holds barre-d episode! James is someone with the confidence to be who he really is, which he credits to dance. From a little boy who had a penchant for shaking his booty and wearing heels, to a teenager who identified as bisexual (before it was trendy) to a grown man running a B&B with his partner in the Scottish Highlands, he's someone who joys in following his instinct and living big and juicy. He shares how, and why, he does this, in the hope it will inspire you, too, to do this. He's already inspired me, as he's the reason I'm constantly embarrassing my 2 sons with my hip hop moves around the house and sometimes (ouch!) even in public. #sorrynotsorry A joyous, juicy episode.

Ep079: How to get over procrastination, so it doesn't steal your time or your dreams, with my mate Claire Merrick who..

Procrastination is not only the thief of your time, it also robs your creative dreams and is associated with low self worth. I am a massive procrastinator. That's why for this episode - another 'on location' broadcast - I quiz my mate Claire Merrick on how she overcame procrastination and achieved her lifelong dream to write a play. Loads of great advice here if you are struggling to just do it, whatever 'it' is. This is also a poignant episode because it traces Claire's journey and shows what can happen if you put your mind to it. Claire appeared in Episode 26 when she talked about her burning desire to write a play, but hadn't overcome her procrastination issues yet. For more on the lovely Claire Merrick, see here She's also on Big Juicy Creative episode 26 here. And look out for her play - Table - coming to the stage soon!

This is different from any other I've done because 1) it's Prosecco-fuelled and I've never hosted a podcast while tipsy 2) it's with one of my best mates, Eva Long, so there are no holds barred. In editing I was tempted to cut out the bits where I sound a bit ranty and, well, a bit of a dick. But I've kept it all in because my intentions are good: I'm trying to be as honest as I can about the complexity of (female) friendships and what sometimes gets in the way of supporting each other put ourselves out there. Eva is rocking putting herself out there lately (with the inspiration of this podcast, I'm happy to add!). She wrote a song to save the hedgehogs, which she set to music and ended up performing it on the main stage of a music festival. She's also just about to launch an innovative property business with TV presenter Charles Hanson (Antiques Road Show, Bargain Hunt). Eva is a naturally creative person in how she lives her life, which I learn from this conversation is something she has inherited from her parents, despite their best efforts to push her into more 'sensible' pursuits. But, as she says, creativity is innate and she's much happier when expressing hers, whether that's in Tango dancing or gardening or cooking or renovating houses. In this podcast she talks about the power of creativity to help her both find, and lose, herself in a busy family life. NB: Eva wants to clarify that her Greek family helped the Cretan resistance For more about Eva and saving hedgehogs: Instagram: @eva.r.long Eva will soon be launching a historic buildings property business with TV presenter Charles Hanson (www.charleshanson.com) called Hanson Rose. Why not help spread the word and raise awareness of the worrying plight of hedgehogs? Download the attached PDF so you, too, can learn Eva's Hedgehog song and perform it yourself! She is currently adapting the story of Lemmy the Hedgehog into a play for primary schools to use free in return for a donation to hedgehogstreet.org.  To donate to save the hedgehogs: https://donate.ptes.org/hedgehog/HHINdexCC.aspx  To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see: Instagram: @bigjuicycreativeliving Facebook @bigjuicycreativeliving LinkedIn: @suzybashford Twitter: @suzybashford  Contact Suzy: suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk Big Juicy Creative podcast is available on all major platforms, or directly from my website: https://www.bigjuicycreative.co.uk/podcast
