From Discovery’s Animal Planet to Full-Time Potter

From on‑air promos to handmade pots, Emma Puddick proves that creativity doesn’t vanish when you change direction, it just finds a new medium. After years crafting campaigns at Discovery and Fox, she swapped fast‑turnaround deadlines for slow‑turning clay, trading broadcast buzz for the calm rhythm of the potter’s wheel. Emma talks through the highs and headaches of on‑air creative, a detour into teaching, redundancy and burnout, and how moving to Bristol helped her rediscover joy in making. It’s an honest look at identity, pace, and why the next chapter sometimes begins by slowing down. ** TRIGGER WARNING: This show contains discussion around mental health ** Hosted on Acast.
