Happy New Year! On the podcast today I’m talking about my word/words for 2019 and a little bit about my plans and resolutions. The first ever podcast episode I did last year was my word for 2018. So it seemed fitting that to kickstart 2019 I would do the same.
Listen in either below, iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify or read the show notes.
My word for 2019 is: Empower
For me empower is all about feeling confident in myself and my abilities. And empowering other design-led souls to do the same.
Some of my plans on how I will bring empower to life include:
- Believe in myself more and surrender to what the universe is nudging and telling me and listen to my intuition further. And not the negative inner chatter
- Meeting you guys and other creatives every month – I want to expand my community and feel a part of this. Particularly as this is something that I identified I loved about 2018
- Hosting more workshops and social meetups as I’ve found events to be really up my street
- Building a Successful Fashion Brand workshop is on the 12 January in London
- Design-Led Social Lunch for Creative Businesses. And On The Menu is a talk on ‘Spotting Trends’ on the 5 March in Milton Keynes
- The Building a Successful Home & Gift workshop will be released soon on 23 March in London
- Plus this podcast will be out every week focusing on trends, product development, design, mindset and a monthly meditation
To support me on this journey I have also added five other words to bring empower to life and they are:
- Community
- Expand
- Abundance
- Kindness
- Success

Plans & Goals
And some of my plans and goals for the year include:
- Speaking at the StartUp 2019 event by Enterprise Nation on Saturday 19 January where I’ll be on a panel talking about ‘Coming up with an idea, name and building a brand for your business’ and hosting a workshop on ‘2019 trends’.
- Creating a house collection for my wedding stationery
- Creating stock graphic design elements, banners, wholesale sheets etc
- Affirmation cards and prints
- E-book based on product development
- Trend webinars
- And a few other collabs that I’ll share later this month
Resolutions
This year I’m not really setting resolutions apart from to write down my gratitude’s regularly. Scroll less mindlessly on my phone. And to build a stronger and flexible body. I’m not going to set myself tasks that I have to go five times a week to a class or even once a week. Just have it there as a way to move my body and see it develop.
I’ll be back next week with Mother’s Day 2019 trends so listen in then to get developing more new products for a big gifting occasion of the year. And you’ll find the Valentine’s Day 2019 trend podcast is live now.
Have a wonderful 2019 and I’m sending you lots of magic, love and sparkle
to make this a brilliant year in life and business.
