Michael Nobbs

Hello, I’m Michael Nobbs. You might know me from my long-running podcast, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/one-thing-today/id1013619203?mt=2" target="_blank">One Thing Today</a>, <a href="https://www.gogently.co/books" target="_blank">my books</a> or perhaps as one of the teachers at <a href="https://sketchbookskool.com/fakulty/michael-nobbs" target="_blank">Sketchbook Skool</a>. If you don’t know me, briefly I’m an artist, podcaster and tea-drinker (not necessarily in that order!) who lives on the side of a hill in west Wales. Back at the end of the 1990s, I was diagnosed with ME/CFS, a chronic illness that severely limits how much I can do each day. Over the years I’ve learnt a lot about living the best life I possibly can by accepting what I can’t change and working with what I can. I have built a successful creative career and am constantly learning how to combine that with a gentle and fulfilling life. Over the last twelve months, I've come to the realisation that I need to make some quite major changes in how I do both. Starting to produce <a href="https://www.youtube.com/gogently" target="_blank">a weekly video podcast</a> and asking for your support here on Patreon, are the cornerstones of how I'm going about making those changes. In supporting me you’ll be helping me to create the space I need to explore how to live a gentle, sustainable, creative life within my changing physical limits. In return, I hope that I can help you to build your own gentle, creative life. Website: <a href="https://gogently.co" target="_blank">Go Gently</a>.
