We get real and raw with organic stationery queen Shasta of Shasta Bell Calligraphy and discuss the difference between inspiration and copying. As artists, we've all experienced this in some form, whether we spotted a dupe, got "inspired" by someone else or noticed our work being replicated. We open up about our mistakes, clear the air about when it's okay to copy, give tips on what to do if you are copied and brainstorm where to find inspiration. (HINT: it's not Instagram!) We hope this episode helps clarify why copying is stifling your business and your creativity and inspires you to create from the heart!  Let's be friends!

Throwback Episode: An Intervention! It's Time to Think Outside the Box

If you’re anything like us, new years resolutions aren’t your jam because well, there’s nothing more deflating than spending hours mapping out lofty goals, only to drop the ball by January 31st. And while it’s easy to shy away from goal-setting completely to avoid disappointing yourself, that’s not our game plan either. Today, we’re inviting you to sit down with us for a realistic goal-setting sesh. Listen in as we not only answer questions about what we enjoyed most in 2022 and what we want more of in 2023 (in true Q & Cake fashion!) but also hear our best tips for setting goals in a way that works for your personality and the season of life you’re in.  If you want to take things a step further and map out your ideal daily schedule for 2023, check out our previous episode Do Your Run Your Day, or Does Your Day Run You?
