Today’s episode is all about mindset, my fellow creative. We are doing some deep identity work so you can OWN once and for all that you are an artist! If you make art, you’re an artist. But maybe right now you don’t feel that way. Maybe, right now, you feel like you don’t deserve or have earned the title of an artist, despite your current work and skill level. But today, we are going to unlock the real reason why you are not calling yourself an artist. We will learn how to unearth and reframe limiting beliefs, and how to implement exercises to train your mind to think like an artist. We’ll also review what the environment of an artist needs to look like; including your physical space, your people, and your mental diet and consumption habits. By the end of this episode, you are going to have a game plan on how to assess where you are now, and change your life to become the artist you have always wanted to be. This is a JUICY one, I can’t wait for you to hear it!

We talk about:
The limiting beliefs holding you back from claiming your title as an artist
How to halt negative thoughts in their tracks and reframe them to empower you
Creating a safe environment to create in flow
What kinds of people are hindering your creative progress
The impact your social media addiction is having on your creativity
Exercises to help you shift your identity and embrace your role as an artist

August 01, 2025Your Fans Are Waiting For You to Show Up!
Your Fans Are Waiting For You to Show Up!
Today’s episode is a big dose of WAKE UP because your fans are out there waiting for you to share your artwork! You might be new at your craft but incredibly passionate about it, or perhaps you’re a skilled artisan with piles of finished pieces and a full camera roll with not a single post or publication about your work. Either way, your fears and excuses are keeping you hidden in the shadows where your fans can’t find you… and I’ve had enough of it! In this week’s episode, we address the fears and limiting thoughts like “if I post, haters will tell me I’m terrible” or “I don’t understand technology, so I’ll never be able to have fans”. Buckle up for an episode where we set your excuses on fire, and get ready to take massive action in sharing the work we’re proud of.

We talk about:
Why you haven’t been sharing your work
Overcoming perfectionism and the comparison trap
Being an artist versus a “content creator”
Sharing your work and finding your fans isn’t just about social media!
Understanding, defining, and refining your message as an artist
Sharing with enthusiasm so you can attract fans who are excited to see your work

July 25, 2025Get Your Groove Back: How to Start Again After a Slump
Get Your Groove Back: How to Start Again After a Slump

In today's episode, we are talking about getting back into your creative flow after taking a break. There will inevitably be times in life when you cannot visit your creative practice daily, or even weekly. But what about months? Or years? What happens when an intentional break turns into a slump: a time when you are not regularly creating, but in your heart you long to do so. During the slump, it can feel like we’re at war with ourselves. You’re constantly cycling through excuses in your head: “it’s been too long”, “I’m no good”, “ I just don’t have it”. By the end of this episode, you will have a better understanding of how you got to this place, what questions to ask yourself to get into action, and how to use the momentum of a practice session to get you back into regularly creating!

We talk about:
How to identify if you are “in a slump”
What to do once you build awareness around your current state (when you recognize it’s been weeks or months since you practiced)
The inner work that will change the way you approach your creative practice
Viewing your practice as a self-love ritual, not a chore
Committing to nurturing your creative practice
How to be intentional about your practice (a sustainable way to make the promise to yourself to create!)

December 06, 2024The Art of Rest: Why Creatives Need to Slow Down
In today's episode, we’re talking about why you’ve gotta slow down to speed up! In our society we have been taught that the most worthy thing that we can be is productive… but when we don’t prioritize rest we burn out and we halt the brain’s natural processes of connecting information. Today we’re going to talk about how hustle culture is not constructive to a life as an artist, why you should incorporate rest into your life every day, and what the two forms of rest are. This episode is a good reminder for you if you’ve been feeling like every bit of effort you make is forced and you’re close to burn out.

We talk about:
How the glamorization of hustle culture is toxic
Why you can’t make everything happen
Allowing the universe to work its magic
the science of rest! How resting is productive for the long term and for your health
What rest can look like for you
