Q&A with Laura Horn & Susan Nethercote (Part 1)

Suse Nethercote & Laura Horn

EPISODE 92

What was it like to create your first online course? How did you heal after a period of burnout? How important is it for artists to have multiple income streams?

Just a few of the questions that come up in this week’s Q&A style podcast episode with Susan Nethercote!

Suse was a guest on my podcast last year, but wow, a lot has happened since then. It felt so good to be able to catch up again and talk about how things have changed. From navigating a global health crisis to making online courses and muddling our way through motherhood, it’s a juicy one. In fact, it’s so juicy that we have broken the conversation into two parts!

I hope you enjoy the first installment and don’t forget to hop over and check out Suse’s Website and Instagram. Also, stay tuned for the second installment next week.


A few things covered in this episode

  • How Covid-19 has impacted upon our creative lives. Suse chats about shipping challenges, canceling workshops and pivoting towards digital products while I talk about taking advantage of the “forced slowdown”.

  • The ins and outs of making online classes. Suse takes us through the approach she took with her first online class while I share some tips from having created over 10 classes.

  • The juggle of making art while being a mum and how things are continually changing in this area as the needs of our children change.

  • Bouncing back from burnout and the strategies that have helped us, including learning how to say no, spending more time in nature, and strengthening boundaries between work and home.

  • The importance of multiple income streams and how to choose them mindfully.
