In this episode I share nine insights I have gained by showing up and creating every day for the past nine years (following a ten year gap, and battling depression.) 

Here are the insights I unpack in this episode:

1. You are capable of more than you think
2. Clarity comes through action
3. Everyone needs a safe place to play & experiment
4. Your journey isn’t just for you
5. Consistency isn’t a character trait, it’s a learned skill.
6. Talent only takes you so far
7.  It takes a catalyst to start, but a system to continue
8. Don’t underestimate small.
9. Hire yourself to do the work you want to be hired for

Meet Sarah Jane Vickery, an artist and creativity coach who’s developed unique online art classes to help you do just that. Her goal is to help as many people as possible build the core skill of being able to think creatively - children and adults alike.

Sarah believes a creative mindset is not just about thinking outside of the box and inventing new things, it’s also key to expressing your thoughts, processing ideas, telling a story and building the confidence to adapt and change.

With the current social distancing environment, you can get creative through Sarah’s online interactive art classes. There are three classes to choose from: Cartoon Club for Kids, Discover Your Inner Cartoonist for adults and Cartoon Break for Businesses.

Sarah is also launching a drawing game called Cartoon Club on Kickstarter. Inspired by her online art classes, it’s designed it as a fun way to bring friends and family together through the ageless art of cartooning.
