Cultivate one-to-one calls
One-to-one, meaningful support to bolster your creative business. I promote baggy planning, can-do lists, and conversations with purpose.
Bouncing ideas around with another brain is time and energy well-spent. Maybe I can be that second opinion for you.
The Garden Shed free marketing tips
Twice-monthly or so emails from my creative brain to yours, for free.
‘Do you offer gardening advice?’ I’ve been asked.
No, but there are a lot of business and gardening connections and I try to find and share them like my life depends on it.

Your gentle creative guide.
I’m Jo McCarthy - a nomad in North Wales. My mission is to nudge and support you as you unravel your extraordinary abilities to market and sell your creativity.
I’ve helped 100s of creatives for almost 7 years. I know that you can craft a less ordinary life.
“I came to Jo for help with starting a membership. I thought I was just looking for guidance on the framework, the logistical and practical steps involved in setting everything up. But what I received was so much more than that.
Jo gave me insights I didn’t even realise I needed. She helped me clarify what I was truly offering and how to communicate it in a way that felt authentic. More than anything, she boosted my confidence. I felt seen and understood, Jo really grasped the essence of what I was trying to create.
She was integral to the development of my membership, and it felt like such a privilege to spend time with her and receive her calm, grounded guidance and wisdom.
Even if you're not sure what you need, Jo will help you uncover it. What she offers is truly a gift to creatives.”
Anna MacDonald, Artist, Coach, Educator + founder of The Organised Artist Membership.
