Launching a Creative Business, Empowering Communities & Representing Neurodiversity with Hayley Cowlard

INNER AVENUE

Send us a love note 🎧💌

It's time to get under the skin of creativity with another local. This time Hayley Cowlard has joined me in the podcast room to talk all things Photography!
If you haven't caught Hayley on Instagram, TikTok or just out and about, get set to hear her speak on her own experience starting a business with dyslexia and dyscalculia, the 'whisper', her creative process for capturing what she calls her "wow shot" AND so much more!
WARNING: You'll hear us discuss both Neurodivergence and Dyslexia in this episode which is a topic that can be triggering/sensitive for some listeners. This episode has been made with the best intent and I absolutely find I still have a lot to learn about this. If you have any thoughts please do feel free to send in a voice note or any feedback you'd like to share.
