How to Stay Creative, Clear & Connected When You Work Alone – A Live Conversation with Charlotte Wihk

Short bio:

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to run a creative business solo – this episode is for you. In a grounded, honest, and energizing conversation between three entrepreneurs, we explore what the solopreneur life actually looks like: the routines, the mindset, the messy middle, and the tools that keep it all moving.

Karina and Maria sit down with Charlotte Wihk – a musician, educator, and seasoned solopreneur – to talk about staying clear, focused, and joyful in a life without a traditional boss. From creative chaos and planning rituals to launching courses and riding bikes for inspiration, Charlotte shares how she’s built a business rooted in freedom, connection, and structure.

The conversation weaves personal stories with solid research, practical tips, and a few laughs (yes, hula hoops and spider songs included). Whether you're freelancing, homeschooling, or launching your next big thing – this one’s for you.

This episode spotlights the solopreneur lifestyle through lived experience – with hands-on tools, real-life systems, and a whole lot of heart.

In this episode, we talk about:

✔️ The power of "Gold time" – distraction-free space for creative work

✔️ Focus blocks and rituals that boost your productivity

✔️ How to structure your days without killing your creativity

✔️ Why rest is not optional – it’s part of the process

✔️ Practical tools for launching an online course as a solopreneur

✔️ Real-life accountability (hotel breakfast co-working, anyone?)

✔️ Music, motherhood, hula hoops & hatching sourdough starters

✔️ The research behind why structure frees creativity
