Ever wondered if you could turn your art into a scalable business? On today's episode, I'm interviewing artist Katie Guiliano who founded Hosanna Revival, a rapidly-growing line of hand-painted Bibles and paper goods. Listen in to hear how she grew her Instagram audience to over 100k, kept producing Bibles when the demand was overwhelming, and how her uncanny ability to solve problems allowed her to confidently brave the uncharted territory from paintbrush to publishing deals.

"In process." It's vulnerable. It's messy. If you're here, you don't know how what you're making will turn out, if people will like it, or if it will all pay off. And guess what: This is where the magic is. Today's guest is Niyah Jackson, a street apparel designer who is redefining the roles of sustainability and faith in the fashion industry. She has amazing insight for those of us who are in process, and I know that her words will give new life to those of you who are mid-journey.

Confidence. What is it? It's the difference between staying down and getting up; between letting a "no" define you or refine you, and believing that you're lacking and believing you're enough. So: How can you find confidence when rejection feels imminent? And how can fake confidence you don't have yet? I was so excited to sit down with my friend, actress Jennifer Joplin, whose groundedness has always inspired me. She'll help you embrace your true self in a way that feels authentic and attainable.

Sometimes, you don't have time to focus on yourself. Everyone is talking about self-care, and while I believe in checking in with yourself, I also know that for busy women, self-care can feel like a burden when life moves at a relentless pace. In episode 9, I gave you permission to create and take time for you. But in today's episode, I'm getting real and explaining the flip side for when you literally don't have time. Listen if you want help navigating the extra crazy busy seasons of your life.

She went from an art major to working with college students—and then she left her job to go back to the pottery wheel. Today I'm interviewing ceramics artist Bethany Thomas! I love her story because she gave herself permission to pursue art, detaching from the results because of her soul's need to create. We're talking about how to stop running from imperfection and embrace it instead, what it means to speak the "language of creativity" and the power of giving yourself grace in seasons of burnout.
