Sarah is a Life and Career Coach to the Creative Industries and former West End General Manager and Producer.

She talks us through career transitions, how this year may have felt like working in the Arts industry, coping with burn out, how to help discover your “happy” and how to navigate and focus during a time of such uncertainty.

There’s so many fantastic nuggets of practical advice for anyone working within the arts (at whatever stage or level) that this is one really not to miss.⚠️

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded back in February, from which point both of our lives went into overdrive/overwhelm/burnout mode 🆘 and we consciously took a step back for a few weeks, to refocus on ourselves, self-care & mental health. So if anyone needs the West End Coach in their lives (and ears), and re listen to her timely advice, it is us! 🙌

Hello 👋

It’s been awhile since we did our first intros as the faces behind Studio17 Brighton.

So we thought it was time to throw some questions at the team, and dig a little deeper into our own personal triumphs 🏆and EPIC fails🙈!!

And seeing as it’s International Women’s Day, who better to kick us off then our very own female powerhouse: Co-Creator, Laura.🔥👩‍💻👊

Can we take a sec to chat about ‘It’s a Sin’ please? ❤️💔

(we’re not crying, you’re crying 😭)

And the s*x scenes were spicy 🌶 right? Pretty steamy stuff 🤪

But how do they film them? How do you get the tone right on camera? And how do you make sure that everyone in the room is comfortable with it on set?

We chatted to our mate Elle, who was one of the Intimacy Coordinators on the show.

Thank you .mcalpine for the giggles and for your ‘note to self’. Very wise. Follow your curiosities 😉.

Trailer lands tomorrow night. Pod to follow.

𝙄𝙏’𝙎 𝙊𝙐𝙍 1𝙨𝙩 𝘽𝙄𝙍𝙏𝙃𝘿𝘼𝙔!!! 🥳🥂🥳

We can’t quite believe it has been one year since we launched Studio17 Brighton...!

We were sat working our office from a cafe in Brighton, discussing whether we thought “this virus in China” would make it to the UK. We decided that was a ridiculous notion (whilst sanitising just incase), ordered another coffee, sat back and admired our amazing year of events that we were hitting the go button on.💪

We certainly didn’t foresee the year that actually lay before us and having to cancel every plan and incredible events we had in place.

BUT in that year we managed to create something even more special to us - a community of like minded individuals, who shared our passion for the arts 💜 (you all!).

We absolutely loved meeting some of you at our first masterclass and can’t wait to meet more of you in the coming year (whenever that may be).

We’ve got some incredible & exciting opportunities that we are just waiting to release to you all.

Lastly we could not have created the content we were able to deliver, without the incredible generosity of our amazing mates & colleagues who gave us their time to bring you all the fantastic Q&A’s, TopTips, Masterclasses and advice. We owe you all a huge drink at then end of all this.

Thank you 😘

Now time for a celebratory cuppa and early night *rock & roll* 🥳🎂

Self kindness matters.💙

It can be a challenge to prioritise your own well-being at the moment, we certainly both find it a struggle at times.

So give yourself the gift of a little kindness today, above all else.🎁
