Why is it so hard to say no? (34)

Do you ever find yourself saying yes when actually you want to say no? Why is it so hard to say no? In this episode we talk why it's hard, and how to (maybe) make it easier. Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.
