Be a rebel, share your story & channel the audacity of a medieval artist with Charlene Storey
Thursday, 2 October, 2025
‘Twas a wonderful day when Charlene Storey waltzed into my digital sphere with her magical storytelling, encouragement and stellar knack for sending me hilarious instagram reels right when I need them. Charlene is one of the loveliest, funniest, most talented people I know, and today, we get to chat with her. But! Before we do, big news to let you in on here, because I’ve just launched…The Creative Courage Club ~ A live, 8-week small group mentorship designed to help you finally move your creative projects forward.Choose your focus (your Substack, podcast, online course, sales page… or that thing gathering dust in your Google Docs) and bring it to life with feedback, encouragement, and accountability through voice notes, looms and live calls.We start Monday, October 13th (enrolments close the night before). Spots are limited so everyone gets plenty of individual attention.Join us in our secret digital hideaway (no algorithms, no noisy feeds, hooray!) Find out more about it and join at creativecourageclub.comNow, back to the episode!Today I’m sharing a conversation with Charlene Storey.Charlene is a writer and photographer who has a unique way of noticing and then sharing, in both words and images, a moment that others might overlook. She sees magic in tiny moments and captures shadows and light in the most beautiful way. She is particularly passionate about women’s stories and has the most profound insights, she says so many things that really stuck with me.Her online world makes you feel seen and inspired and she is genuinely one of the loveliest finds on the internet.Substack | Instagram |Some of Charlene’s beautiful imagesThere are so many amazing takeaways from this conversation, we speak about not becoming a lost story, choosing yourself, sharing imperfectly and how “There’s a difference between doing something that feels comfortable and doing something because you don’t think you deserve more…” plus my personal favourite: “The idea of wearing jeans that are too tight, is frankly, abhorrent.”Although, she says all these things with her gorgeous Scottish accent so it’s really worth hearing for yourself. On that note, I’ll let her do the talking! Enjoy the episode and make sure you find Charlene on both Substack at Haver & Sparrow and on instagram. Links below.
