This week we talk about some of the pivotal moments we’ve experienced and the lessons learned along the way.

It’s easy to fall into attaching our value and worth to what we make. This ends up holding us back… and even if we can press through the fear and “succeed,” it’s still not going to make us feel like we hope it will feel. This week, we talk about how to find the confidence to create — which starts with understanding and accepting our own value.

Of course we want people to know about our shows, exhibitions and events. Press is an essential element of that. This week, we talk about some proven methods of how to get the newspaper, bloggers, influencers and more to cover your art.

Some of what we do as artists is solo. But a big part of it involves other people. This week, we talk about 3 types of people it’s great to have as part of your tribe as you build your creative career.

Maybe it’s a weird analogy… but there are some lessons we can learn from the failed launch of CNN+. This week we talk about building and launching your next creative project and how to do it successfully.

There are lots of voices who have an opinion about HOW you should be an artist. But in the end, it comes down to what you want and need. This week, we talk about 3 common voices that might try and distract you… and how to make sure they don’t.

Some practical advice on selling your art - whether it’s original work or a commissioned piece. As artists, selling is one component of what we do. This week, we talk about some practical ways to get even better at it.

Our emotional lives play a pivotal role on our creativity. Our ability to create authentically… and our ability to create at all is connected to how we feel. This week, we talk about cultivating a healthy relationship to our emotions so that we can create with authenticity and regularity.

Do you ever feel like you don’t have what it takes? Like you don’t belong in the room? Like you don’t deserve the gig? Struggling with worth and the belief that we belong can be a lifelong struggle for creative people. This week, we talk about some practical ways to change our thinking and start believing in our worth.

Making art can be emotionally difficult. One way of dealing with that is developing coping mechanisms that distance us from our work. But, in the end, living a full life isn’t about detachment. This week, we talk about the value of moving toward greater health so that we can connect deeply.
