In this cozy year-end episode, I guide you through a gentle intention-setting practice inspired by wishes shared inside the Business Circle. This isn’t about goals or productivity — it’s about creating an inner compass for 2026 that feels supportive, spacious, and doable. If you’re craving more ease, courage, stillness, or time to create, this episode will help you clarify what you truly want for the year ahead.

 You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching gets a bad rep sometimes, but when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience it at no or low cost. If you've ever been curious about working with me in this way, now's the time.

#109 - Using Intentions as your Creative Compass for 2026

Send me a Text Message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1277447/open_sms]

Am I my brand? And does branding even matter when I’m a tiny, one-person creative business?

In this episode, I untangle the belief that branding is mostly fonts, logos, and pretty photos, and I lean on Brand the Change to explore branding as direction – a compass for how you show up, what you say yes to, and how people experience your work.

I share examples from the knitting world, some brands that randomply popped up in my head and that's saying much in itself (think Stephen West, Rowan, Hedgehog Fibres), talk about my own journey from yarn shop to coaching, and get honest about boundaries, privacy, and starting a YouTube channel without burning myself out.

I close with journaling questions to help you see where your branding already shines, and how you can use it as a tool instead of a costume.

- How I separate ideas from tasks, plan by energy, and keep marketing simple - 

Planning doesn’t have to kill creativity. In this episode, I share how I plan with a neurodivergent, creative brain—lightly. Using examples from some of my clients, I separate ideas from tasks, choose one daily priority, and use soft time blocks guided by energy instead of the clock. I talk about how Bullet Journaling® supports me (without needing pretty pages), how I turned my phone into a tool, and why monthly/weekly/daily funnels keep my daily list truly doable. If you’ve tried rigid systems and rebelled, this is for you. Planning can protect your freedom, help you make more, and keep your marketing consistent—without heroic last-minute sprints.

#107 - Planning Doesn’t Kill Creativity — It Protects It

Send me a Text Message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1277447/open_sms]

I’ve noticed that many smart, creative people avoid coaching because they think it’s only for people who are lost, unsure or corporate CEO's. In this episode of Pattern Shift, I challenge that idea. I share my own stories as both a coach and a client, from working with ADHD and lifestyle coaches on my weightloss journey to helping my clients rediscover joy in their creative work.

With humor, honesty, and a healthy dose of Dutch pragmatism, I explain how coaching differs from consulting, mentoring, and therapy—and why it’s such a powerful way to find clarity when you’re ready to grow. I also talk about how our cultural tendency to “doe maar normaal” can make asking for support feel uncomfortable, even when it’s exactly what we need.

If you’ve ever thought coaching wasn’t “for you,” this episode might shift your perspective.

#105 - New Season, New Chapter: Weaving a Creative Ecosystem at Ja, Wol

Send me a Text Message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1277447/open_sms]

Clarity, confidence, and calm… one bullet at a time.

Summer tends to shake things up — especially if you’ve got kids at home, your routine is out the window, or you’re simply craving a break from the usual hustle. That’s why I’m hosting a gentle 6-week journaling challenge, right inside the Ja, Wol Community.

BuJo by the Sea is a relaxed, Bullet Journal–inspired journey.
Each day, from July 19 to August 30, you’ll get one simple prompt to help you:

 * Set an intention
 * Reflect on a mindful journaling question
 * Choose one priority
 * Log what happens with the original Bullet Journal bullets (• – ○ =)

You don’t need anything fancy. Just a notebook, a pen, and a few minutes a day.
This is a lovely way to experiment with the practice if you’re new to Bullet Journaling — or to return to it with fresh eyes if you’ve drifted away.

You can join for free — in our own Ja, Wol Community private BuJo by the Sea space.
👉 Click here to join us [https://jawol.myflodesk.com/bujobythesea]

Let’s move slowly together this summer.
I’ll be there, journaling right alongside you.

Certified Bullet Journal Trainer & Slow Business Coach

This summer, I'm hosting a playful and peaceful journaling challenge. I've called BuJo By The Sea.

This is not a tutorial—it’s a story of how I found my footing again, and why I still use this method today. And I announce an exciting challenge I'm working on!

In this super honest solo episode, I unpack a limiting belief that’s followed me for years: “I can’t help others with their business if mine isn’t thriving.” As I deepen my coaching journey and reflect on what true success means, I’m realizing how deeply ingrained this belief is—and how untrue it actually is. I share the honest behind-the-scenes of my work, money mindset, slow growth, and how I’m redefining success to align with values over volume. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “far enough” to help others, this episode is for you.

#100 - This is how one person, a mic, and a messy creative mind made it to 100 episodes  🥳

Hi, my name is SASKIA. I’ve got over a decade of experience in running a small business in the needle craft industry. Selling, pattern and product design, teaching and running a needle craft school. As a small business owner you’re in charge of EVERYTHING branding, marketing, selling, promoting and cleaning the loo. I’m educated in marketing and photography and learned to do everything else ON THE JOB.I’m obsessed with the healing magic of crafting and the power of community.And I’m determined to lift our scene up for the world to notice so they can step away from FAST FASHION.In A SMALLER LIFE we learn from experts in the needle craft, textile and creative industry - big names and small - about what it’s ACTUALLY like to run a small business. Emotional talks with SELLERS about wins and woes, product and design, conscious decision making in branding and communication. Why we do it, how we do it and what we need to become the future of fashion without BURNING THE HELL OUT. A SMALLER LIFE fights apathy in apparel and aims to inspire YOU to look at your wardrobe differently. Where do you buy, how do you use your clothes and can you make some of it yourself? DREAMING BIG about a world where we rely on value based businesses, the KINDNESS ECONOMY and where we can fully say; FUCK FAST FASHION!
