Frequency: 1 episode/7d. Total Eps: 9

Welcome to a podcast just for us SENTIMENTAL SOULS.
Here, I pull back the curtain on my life as a professional illustrator building my business and life as a sentimental person with a passion for celebrating and preserving our stories and human experiences. This podcast is kind of like the Deluxe Version of your fave DVD... you know when you could watch the Director's Cut, Blooper Reels and Interviews with the Cast and Crew? I want to really open up and share with you my story and experiences that have ultimately shaped who I am today, and take you with me as I prepare to move my business AND family from Australia to the UK in 2027.
Expect weekly unedited chats about what I'm pondering upon, what I'm experiencing and specific topics I think you'll like. I will also delve into my passions and research as a history nerd and art geek.
If you have a specific topic in mind, or have a question to submit you can do so at: hello@forkeepsillustration.com and my assistant and I will make sure to add it to our show list!
I'd LOVE to connect on a more personal level with you, so do reach out to me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forkeepsillustration/ or if you're not ready to say hello yet, you can visit my website: https://www.forkeepsillustration.com/

We NEED To Get WEIRD With Our Friends. Here's Why...
Episode 6
jeudi 21 mai 2026 • Duration 25:25
Okay, this episode is geared more towards Creatives and Business Owners, but honestly after listening back it can connect with just about anyone!
In this episode ponder upon the importance of maintaining friendships with fellow weirdos to instil creativity and passion into our souls. Not in a 'woo woo' way (although I do believe that connecting with our people is actual magic), but psychologically!
Overall, we just need to get WEIRD. And be a part of a community that lights you up.
