This week my podcast ‘How to Curate Your Life – Work Life Balance for the Creative Entrepreneur’, is back with an interview with product, events and interiors stylist, Nancy Straughan. I first met Nancy several years ago, back when she was a textile designer with her own homeware brand. In this episode we talk about why Nancy recently chose to close down her homewares business and go down a different creative route. We hear about Nancy’s values, her focus on family and work life balance and we talk about Nancy and her husband Simon’s (along with their bump – Nancy is pregnant) move, back to the North East where Nancy is from originally. Nancy talks about her own personal experience with health relating to work as well as sharing her tips on how to make a career move and specifically how to get into styling. It’s a really valuable episode for anyone interested in moving direction in their creative career, moving location to get back into alignment with their values and just in case you’re interested – we talk a fair bit at the end of the episode, all about what it’s like being pregnant! Thank you Nancy for coming on and for sharing your journey and creative career with us. Lizzie x
