Podcasts:

Your Creative Push #239 Success Loves Speed - w/artist manager Maria Brophy ​ ​(I've collated a playlist of some of my fave episodes here)

. Audio books I think are fab:

Born A Crime - Trevor Noah reading his own autobiography 👌 - interesting and hysterical, and great for those who know little of the realities of apartheid in S. Africa. Becoming - Michelle Obama reading her own autobiography -inspiring.

Life and Laughing - Michael McIntyre - autobiography read by the one and only- honestly it will have you in stiches. Good Omens - Neil Gaiman - Martin Jarvis narrating this is a-mazing. Harry Potter books - J.K. Rowling - (Stephen Fry reading these = basically my childhood and I still love them). ​ Calm App bite sized masterclasses: Stoicism for Modern Life by Ryan Holiday Discovering Happiness by Shawn Achor Radical Compassion by Tara Brach Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert ​ Audible free bite sized series: Get Happy: Introduction to Happiness Calm World: Introduction to Meditation ​ Meditation: Calm App Headspace Insight Timer ​ Music Playlists: Meditative - helps get me into flow state when I'm creating stuff. ​​ Dancing in a jungle or the desert at Burning Man - good for that, or if you're not feeling terribly creative, it might get you in the mood to make something.
