Getting Out of the Screen and Into Your Life: A Heartfelt Conversation With Sarah Walsh on Dream Projects, Self-Sabotage, and Creative Ruts


Listen Later

Margo is joined by Sarah Walsh in this two part conversation where they go in-depth on finding motivation, leaning into intuition, how you can work on your true dream project today and so much more. Sarah is an illustrator, painter and designer with home goods, children's books, socially conscious based projects, nature and mystical subject matter as the mainstays of her work. She is also the co-proprietor of the illustrative product based brand Tigersheep Friends. She collects books, new and old, plants, and folk art and also loves cooking, thrifting, listening to records, haunting coffee shops with her sketchbook and spending time with her favorite humans.

 

Margo and Sarah discuss:

  • Her creative upbringing and the influence her mom and grandma had on her
  • How having a child at a young age impacted her creative journey
  • Why creative ruts are actually important to our process and story
  • Being led intuitively
  • Having compassion for ourselves and giving grace
  • How to slow down and learning to say NO
  • Social media and self sabotage
  • What defines a dream project to Sarah
  • Learning what we could accomplish if we treated ourselves like we do our clients
