More Joy, please!

Hey biz owner,

We see you doing the good work, pushing, striving towards your vision.

We know that it can be a struggle to trust your impulses.

To create balance between all the extremes in your life and your business.

Maybe you start projects and can’t finish them.

Maybe you’re battling your moods.

Maybe poor self-esteem is playing havoc with your motivation.

We’ve been there… we know how it feels–motivating yourself to keep up the social media show, the newsletter, the lead magnets, the money… it’s a lot. At times, it can feel damn right devastating.

And you know what’s suffering most? Your self-care.

Unless you’re building a business, it’s difficult to understand quite how many plates are being juggled… the loneliness… the frustration. It’s real.

But we see you. Because we run our own businesses too. 

These businesses aren’t just businesses, right?

We believe that businesses like yours and ours are the future. And we want to arm YOU with the know-how and confidence to make your business boom!!

So we’ve combined our real-life experience as entrepeneurs plus our skills as performers, writers, facilitators, creatives, and yes, business owners, of course, to bring you bitesized, actionable business development sessions that also tend to your well-being and confidence.

Because building a business is tough, and you’re in this for the long-run, which means you’ve got to do the inner work and look after your well-being as you build 👇

Each JOY session covers a different actionable ‘business bite’ so that you leave ready to take a proactive step towards growing your business.

Plus, you’ll also infuse joy into your Friday morning with breathwork, creative flow rituals, and a closing empowerment visualisation.

Who are we?

We’re Alice and Ashleigh, two smart, hardworking women who know that playtime is just as important as work time.

We’re pleasure-seekers.

Joy-lovers.

Artists.

Businesswomen.

And we want to bring more creativity, rest, clarity, confidence and joy to the world!!

Hi, I’m Alice

Founder of Creative Tea Breaks, multi-disciplinary artist, educator, and facilitator who champions creativity and rest as tools for inner peace and growth.

I specialise in helping you connect with your inner world through mindful art, meditation, and manifesting so you can boss life in a way that feels aligned and mindful.

With me, you can expect to dismantle internal blocks, like perfectionism and self-doubt, and to lean into trusting yourself and being fully expressive!!

At CTB, we don’t care about making “perfect art“. We’re on a journey to befriend our emotions and feelings, to develop self-trust and inner calm, and to become the intentional impactful humans we’re meant to be!!

✿ embrace the moment

✿ soothe the nervous system

✿ shift energy

✿ foster resilience

✿ create without judgement

✿ become curious as hec

✿ be fully, unapologetically you!!

If that sounds like your idea of a good time, you’re in the right place!

And I’m Ashleigh. Hi!

I’m a theatre performer and conversion copywriter.

I’ve worked on stages in theatres all over the world – South Africa, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England, Scandinavia, the Balkans, Zimbabwe, India and Singapore.

I’ve appeared in Funny Girl, Avenue Q, Mamma Mia and Come From Away.

AND I run a copywriting business. I’ve written for Emirates Airlines, L’Oréal, and Adidas. I’ve written content for Microsoft and General Electric. I founded The Story Team five years ago, a business that helps solopreneurs & founders write copy that converts audiences into loyal customers and clients.

My ways of finding my flow, resting, rejuvenating and recalibrating my mind so that I can KICK ASS in this world: Yoga. Yoga. Yoga. And more yoga. I love the hot variety, but I’ll take anything I can get.

Also tea – in large volumes. Music. Reading. Scuba diving. Regular trips back home to South Africa where I can be in the bush and hang out with lions. And really, really good coffee.

Now, I want to help you, the founder, thrive even more… by reconnecting with your breath and your voice to unlock your potential, amplify that potential and harness your energy. You will be immersed in exercises used by actors all over the world to trust your expression and your message with your writing, and boosting your energy and sense of play. 

Deepen your internal connection with your voice and your breath, and move toward success in a holistic, totally embodied way.
