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

1 hour 24 minutes

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, by taking ahold of your time, and your yeses. Sarah is an illustrator, painter and designer with home goods, children's books, socially conscious based projects, nature and loves tapping in to 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, adores 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
