in this episode we ponder Lien's journey featuring...

- falling into being a ceramacist after taking creative workshops in London

- pottery as meditation, self-care, & serving many purposes in her life 

- spending her childhood weekends watching Art Attack and creating crafts w/her cousins

- reprogramming perfectionism & choosing to believe in her art even when sales are low or when self-doubt arises

- collaborating w/her bestie to create the magickal Bienne store ft. handmade scrunchies they launched this week

- taking a strengths-based approach when co-creating

- her flowy & feelings-infused creatrix process

- the benefits of being self-taught 

- how panic attacks & her body's wisdom guided her away from what wasn't working & towards what was best for her on all levels

- the influence of lien's ancestors & cultural upbringing on her creatrix endeavours

- trusting her inner guidance when it comes to sharing her work regardless of how business-savvy or not the decision seems at the time

- her connection to London & Perth in the context of her ceramic offerings
