On this episode, I’m challenging the notion that, in order to be happy, we have to have the things we want. Instead, what if we focused on being the person who made those things possible? 

As artists, we’re so often holding ourselves back from happiness because we don’t “have” our goals yet. We don’t have a gallery show, we don’t have collectors, we don’t have a daily creative practice. The reality is, though, that we have to work on ourselves to make sure we’re the person who can make those goals a reality. 

We can’t find satisfaction with our art (or our lives!) until we settle the score with ourselves. We have to BE the person who can achieve those goals we set for ourselves.

Not sure what I mean or how you can flip the script from “having” to “being”? That’s what we cover in this episode, along with challenging your goals (why have you set them?) and figuring out WHO you need to be to attain those goals.

This is a juicy one, so don’t miss out!
