014 - Beyond the Stage: Building a Heart-Led Drama Business by Being Kinder to Yourself - Katy Bachelor
In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Katy Batchelor, founder of Zozimus Drama, to talk honestly about building a business that’s rooted in values, not pressure.
Katy shares how she created a safe, inclusive space for children to explore drama without the pressure to perform and why removing the stage spotlight helps so many children flourish, especially those who are neurodivergent, anxious, or quietly creative.
We also talk about:
•Leaving teaching to start a business from scratch
•Why improvisation can unlock confidence (even if it used to terrify you)
•Katy’s late ADHD diagnosis and how it’s shaped the way she teaches
•What burnout looked like, and how she recovered
•How she created the Zozimus Drama Business in a Box to help others do this work without the stress of starting alone
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to grow a business and be kind to yourself in the process, this one’s for you.
