I'm the voice behind Helping Creatives! Bringing creativity to operations and on a mission to help creatives....create! Join my newsletter for a weekly idea on how to rest, a new resource to help your journey and a few reflections of my own on from the past week!
This is your weekly reminder ✨
Connection, online and off, has been my theme this week. Being an introvert it's easy for me to get in a pattern of just hiding away but after a soild 6 months of slowly going into my 'cave', this week I was back out in full force.
Video calls with friends from around the globe, in person meetups with friends, and general connection on the socials has brought a renewed sense of energy and alignment.
I'm embracing my discomfort and stepping out of my introverted bubble to do the hard things as I work to help others in their operation struggles! I'm here to support all of you too, just hit reply and let me know how I can help!
This is your weekly reminder that working 24/7 isn't healthy or sustainable!- @saranosocks​ |

Do the hard thingSometimes rest means doing the hard thing. For me that's cold outreach in my business to give my brain rest during personal time. Sounds counter intuative but when we can actively work at removing stressors from one area, it provides rest in others. What hard thing will you do this week to bring you rest? |
Here's a resource for you...Each week I'll include a new resource to check out. Books, podcasts, tools, courses, communities, YouTube and more! |
​Generalist World is an amazing community to support, connect and engage with other generalists from around the world! I joined on Tuesday and I have found so much value already. If you consider yourself a generalist, I highly recommend checking it out ​ Have a great resource you're using that you want to recommend?

Outsource Your Operations!
An agency empowering creatives to be more productive.
I've found a lot of creative small business owners tend to just want to focus on their creative side when it comes to business, not the behind the scenes that makes everything come together. Unfortunately it's a necessary part of running any business. I'm on a mission to make your operations easier so you can get back to what you enjoy most.
- Strategy calls - let me be you're trusted partner to bounce ideas off of
- Documentation help - from setting up templates, to migrating platforms or creating knowledge bases.
- Workflow management - what can you remove, automate or outsource, let me help you figure it out.
- Creative Assistant - need design feedback, a proof reader or QA help? I've got you covered!
If you're ready to make your workflows easier, documentation cleaner, and projects run smoother, I'm ready to help

After having to answer the same question over and over again on why I am looking to move into a full -time role right now, I revised an old blog post as my answer and shared it on Medium. TL;DR being solo just isn't for me in a lot of ways. This was a very vulnerable share for me, more transparent that I have been for the last two years, but helped lift a bit of the heaviness weighing me down I didn' t even realize was there. I'll be sharing more about my solo journey over the last three...
This week I've been reflecting on the job market and job hunting, which is not for the faint of heart. Every single person I've talked to on the job search across community, operations, design and product are struggling to get an interview even with network referrals, tailored resumes and a vast amount of knowledge and experience. I don't have an easy answer because I'm in the same boat. What I do know is that we all succeed by uplifting each other. If you're job hunting, you're not alone!...
I've been reflecting this month on asking for help, specifically on how much I struggle with it. As much as I thrive on helping others, I have a terrible time asking for help myself. Over the years I've always let my own self doubt, anxiety and impostor syndrome stop me from asking anyone for help. This of course has carried over into my business and been a huge hinderance to consistency, growth and overall success. It's something I'm working on and don't have any quick and fast answers too...
