What happens when artwork you created yourself is suddenly labelled as AI?
In this episode, Kaylie and Delores explore the increasingly complicated difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted creative work. 
They discuss reports of Instagram adding AI information labels to content edited with Canva’s background remover, why a single label can misrepresent hours of genuine creative work, and the effect that misunderstanding can have on an artist’s reputation.
They also have an honest conversation about where they personally draw the line with generative AI. 
Is using an AI-generated image for a temporary marketing graphic different from selling generated artwork as your own? 
Does every use need to be disclosed? 
And how can small creative businesses make practical choices without dismissing the genuine concerns surrounding consent, copyright, creative jobs and trust?
Kaylie and Delores also explore why visibly human design—complete with wobbly lines, handmade marks and imperfect details—may become even more valuable as generated content becomes easier to produce.
In this episode:
• The difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted work
• Why Instagram’s AI labels can mislead customers
• How Canva’s automated tools may trigger AI information labels
• The difference between creative authorship and automated editing
• Using generated imagery for marketing versus products for sale
• The pressure placed on solo creative business owners
• Why context, transparency and kindness matter
• Etsy’s evolving approach to originality, digital products and AI
• Why handmade and visibly human design may become more valuable
• Practical ways artists can share their process without constantly defending themselves
This is not an episode about choosing a side and shouting at everyone on the other one. 
It is an honest, nuanced conversation about creativity, technology, trust and the human beings trying to navigate the messy space between them.
Listen now, share the episode with another artist, maker, author or creative business owner, and let us know where you draw the line between AI assistance and AI generation.

What if the creative experiments that didn’t become your forever business were never wasted?
In this episode of The Creative Juggle Joy, Delores talks with artist and surface pattern designer Katie McEachern about the winding path that took her from running a successful Etsy shop to pursuing a focused career in art licensing.
Katie shares how her early handmade business helped her rediscover her identity after becoming a mother and taught her entrepreneurship through hands-on experience. 
She also discusses working in product development, creating a portfolio of work that belonged to her, experimenting with print-on-demand and Spoonflower, and eventually securing her first fabric licensing contract with Figo Fabrics.
The conversation also explores the personal side of creative work, including grief, changing energy levels and learning to build a business that can evolve alongside your life.
If you’re an artist, handmade seller or digital creator who feels as though everyone else has their career mapped out, Katie’s story is a thoughtful reminder that clarity often comes from trying, learning and following the clues along the way.

Running a creative business often looks beautifully polished from the outside. 
A new class appears, a newsletter lands in your inbox, a product launches or a finished collection is shared—but what about all the thinking, practising, planning and problem-solving that happened behind the scenes?
In this reflective solo episode, Delores shares what returning from a family camping holiday taught her about rest, creativity and the invisible work that keeps a creative business moving. 
From practising hand lettering beside the lake to reconsidering ideas for her upcoming Five Card Challenge, she explores why unfinished projects, changed plans and quiet thinking time are never truly wasted.
In this episode, Delores talks about:
 Why creating without a commercial purpose still matters 
 The hidden preparation involved in taking time away from a creative business 
 What working with a creative team actually looks like 
 Why successful businesses aren’t perfectly organised every day 
 How stepping away can help you ask better questions 
 Why abandoned ideas and unfinished work still have value 
 The relationship between rest, clarity and creativity 
 Building a business around real life—not the other way around 
If you’ve been measuring your creativity only by what you finish, publish or sell, this episode is a gentle reminder to recognise all the valuable work nobody else sees.
 Listen to the episode, share it with a creative friend who might need the reminder and support.

What would happen to your creative business if Instagram suddenly stopped showing your work, your Etsy traffic dropped or your account disappeared into the algorithm abyss?
Social media can still be brilliant for helping new people discover your art, products and ideas—but it was never designed to carry the full weight of your business.
In this solo episode, Kaylie explores how artists, handmade sellers, digital creators and creative educators can build a calmer, more resilient marketing system that doesn’t depend entirely on constantly posting.
She introduces a simple three-layer visibility system.
You’ll also hear practical examples of how this system can work for artists, makers, digital product sellers and creative educators—without building a complicated funnel or trying to be everywhere at once.
Take Kaylie’s free two-minute quiz to discover how exposed your business may be to an algorithm change and receive one clear recommendation for what to strengthen next:

What does it really take to build a creative business that lasts for more than 20 years without losing the joy that made you start?
In this episode of The Creative Juggle Joy Podcast, Kaylie is joined by artist, designer and maker Hannah Nunn. 
From her studio in Hebden Bridge, Hannah creates nature-inspired paper-cut lighting, botanical wallpaper, decorative window film, journals and delicate laser-cut treasures.
Hannah shares how her business began with handmade paper-cut cards, why she eventually moved away from products that weren’t financially sustainable and how one idea led to another—from lighting and wholesale relationships to opening a gallery, designing wallpaper and building a product range rooted in the natural world.
This is also an honest conversation about burnout, rebuilding after a devastating studio fire, creating a business around your energy and choosing a definition of success that doesn’t rely on endless growth.
If you’re building an art, handmade or digital creative business and wondering how to grow without turning it into something you no longer enjoy, this conversation offers plenty of honest encouragement.
