Sandra Palmer: Surreal Collage, Heritage and Finding Your Way Back to Art

Episode 44

Thursday, October 1, 2026 • Duration 08:35

In the Season 3 finale of Creatives Like Us I'm joined by Sandra Palmer, a Birmingham-based surreal collage artist. After more than 16 years as a designer in lingerie and swimwear, she began making collages during lockdown. It became a way to slow down, practise mindfulness and reconnect with the creativity she has had since childhood.

In this episode we talk about why there was never a single moment she knew she was creative, handling imposter syndrome with a simple daily gratitude practice, what success means to her now compared with when she started and much more.

This episode is a little different and is in a blog style, as I read out Sandra's answers. Take a look at this episode on the website to see Sandra's creative work to accompany this podcast episode.

Kira the Bold: Permission to Be Audacious

Episode 38

Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 49:51

In this episode Angela sits down with Kira Matthews (Kira the Bold), a creative coach who helps people pitch themselves to brands and overcome rejection.

Kira shares how a viral post about audacity took her from 5,000 to 25,000 followers in a month and what that number really means to her. She talks candidly about leaving a fast paced career in fashion styling that wore down her self esteem and building a coaching business from scratch when nobody around her thought it was a good idea.

The conversation digs into the client relationship building process behind partnerships and why following up isn't pushy, it's just good business.

Kira also opens up about confidence, being neurodivergent and feeling emotions deeply, growing up working class in East London and navigating the fashion industry as a black woman. She closes with practical advice on building social and cultural capital when you don't have generational wealth behind you, plus details on her upcoming three day event in East London this September.

Ashwin shares the journey from drawing as a five-year-old in India to building a full-time illustration career in Ireland, and everything in between — advertising, art direction, freelance pivots and a very intentional leap of faith in 2019.

He also shares the story behind his brand new publishing house Bad Book Press and their debut picture book Moon Moon Can't Sleep, as well as why he started The Fruitful Life podcast and what he hopes listeners take away from it.
