Creativity isn’t something you either have or don’t have, it’s something that responds to the conditions you create around it. In this episode, I’m sharing five gentle, practical daily habits that support your creativity, especially during busy or low-energy seasons. These aren’t productivity hacks or rigid routines. They’re small, sustainable practices that help you show up consistently without burning out. We’ll talk about: building simple creative routines your body can recognisesetting yourself up for easier startsthe importance of play (without monetising everything)using “10 minutes of power” to overcome resistanceand why protecting your energy matters more than productivityIf you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your creativity, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need to do more, you just need to create better conditions. Choose one habit. Start there.     ———   Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals Podcast If you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: [email protected]   Please follow along:  Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/  Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesign  You Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videos  Website // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.

Motivation gets talked about a lot in the creative world, but it’s often framed as something we need to push harder for. In this short episode, I slow things down and ask a gentler question: what actually motivates you? I share some honest reflections on motivation, creative energy, and why pressure, guilt and comparison don’t tend to work long term. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your own reasons for showing up to your art and business, especially when things feel hard or messy. If you’ve been feeling a little flat, stuck, or questioning your momentum, this one’s for you.   ———   Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals Podcast If you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: [email protected]   Please follow along:  Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/  Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesign  You Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videos  Website // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.

In this episode, I explore why artists need to stop basing their worth on comments from social media. I shares personal stories about how casual remarks affected my early work and why reactions from strangers cannot define your value. You will learn how to protect your confidence, choose which feedback actually matters and shift your mindset so your art is guided by intention instead of approval. I also offer practical tools to build real artistic confidence through affirmations, action and a grounded creative process. This episode is a reminder to trust your voice and create from strength, not from the comment section.   ———   Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals Podcast If you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: [email protected]   Please follow along:  Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/  Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesign  You Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videos  Website // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.

In this episode of Art + Business + Murals, we explore one of the most common challenges mural artists face. Small budgets. Whether you are working with schools, community organisations, small businesses or brand-new venues, tight budgets come up often. The good news is that a small budget does not have to mean a small opportunity. I walk you through how to set your non negotiables, how to adjust the scope without lowering your value, and the practical ways you can simplify a mural so it still delivers impact. We look at what to avoid compromising, how to communicate clearly with clients who have limited funds, and when it is best to say no. You will also hear why some of the lowest budget murals in my career have led to the biggest long term opportunities. This episode will help you approach small budget projects with confidence so you can protect your time, maintain your value and still create work you are proud of.   ———   Thank you so much for tuning into the Art + Business + Murals Podcast If you’d like to say ‘hi’ to me, or if you have any podcast topic ideas or artists you’d like me to interview, please email: [email protected]   Please follow along:  Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/sculleydesign/  Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/sculleydesign  You Tube // https://www.youtube.com/@SarahSculley/videos  Website // https://www.sculleydesign.comFeel free to give this podcast a star rating and ‘follow’ so you are notified when new episodes come out each Monday.
