📷 it’s giving album cover vibes … but the album is full of creative industry chat and we talk in buzz words with a dash of authenticity of course 🙃

On set with @mielfverson and @parkesproductions during filming with @kirstymaynor in @workclockwise for the new Firefly Group online learning library. Super fun, productive and the good kind of hard work involved … but looking forward to seeing the finished product in June! #worktravel #creativeindustry #creativeteam #selfemployedlife #workadventures #marketingfreelancer #smallbusinessuk #BirdandEmmy #lifewithSuz

According to an inside source, I am really bad at being spontaneous … debatable in my opinion, but I must confess to planning our 3-day Newcastle city break with a solid food, drink and shopping agenda in mind!

Mixing old skool “asking for recommendations” (shoutout to @__lifewithharley__ and @jm_virtual_business_solutions for this) and searching on social media (think hashtags and keywords 🙌), me and my daughter had an amazing mini break in Newcastle.

If you’re ever in the area, I’d recommend the following for food and drink:
🍽️ @thebotanistuk
🥞 @thedispensaryncl
🍸 @leilalilysnewcastle
☕️ @northshorecoffeeco
🥂 @harrodsbeauty Champage Bar
🍝 @portofinonewcastle

The social media industry version of going wild; tell a business owner it’s ok to take a break and go unplugged 😬 … someone said they were advised otherwise and that doesn’t feel great to me. Social media for business is a heady high of adrenaline and fatigue and a break from that now and again can only be a good thing!

Obvs your usual risk assessments need to happen first and a contingency communications plan needs to be place, plus comms to existing customers - but it’s not impossible. Even just handing over the reins to someone else for a small chunk of time counts as a break. I’d recommend it.
