Winter Special Episode 1: Creative Burnout? Reignite Your Spark with the Founders of Birch and The Coven
Suffering from creative burnout? We’ve found the cure. At a time where burnout is all too common and creativity can be hard to muster, we’re helping you reignite your spark. Banishing the B-word for good, we’re dialling in with two powerhouse creatives who share their tips, tricks and secrets to reigniting that creative spark. We catch up with Chris Penn, co-founder of Birch, this year’s hottest “anti-hotel” opening that is changing the conversation around creative retreats. With extra curricular activities such as candle making (with our pals Earl of East), meditation and food from chef Robin Gill, Birch has an ethos that centres around your pursuit of happiness and shaking off city excesses. There’s nobody from which we’d rather seek advice. We’re also joined by The Coven founder Sapphire Bates whose online membership club has helped thousands of female freelancers, creatives and independent business owners thrive. Here, Sapphire reveals her secrets to managing stress, how to turn your home into a work-free sanctuary and what books we should read to relax. The two reveal their tips for banishing burnout, setting boundaries and achieving a better work-life balance. After the year we’ve had, we need it. We’d love to know where you’re going next.
