In this episode, we sit down with Katie Phillips just after she made the bold decision to leave her full-time job and step fully into her life as an artist. Known for her quirky, joy-filled presence on Instagram and her thriving world of paint classes and festivals, Katie has built something truly unique and now she’s going all in.

We also get into the practical side: how she knew she was ready to leave her job, what her income streams actually look like (hello, classes and festivals), and what she’s focusing on as she steps into this next chapter.
If you’re craving a story that feels real, hopeful, and a little unconventional // in life and in business // this one is going to stick with you.

March 30, 2026 85. Myth Buster #5: “If I Pivot, People Will Be Confused and Leave” (The Right People Grow With You)
In this episode of the Myth Buster series, Kendal and Kayla take on a fear that quietly keeps many artists playing small: the belief that changing direction will confuse their audience and cost them followers.
From shifting styles and subject matter to evolving pricing, messaging, or business models, the pressure to stay consistent can feel overwhelming. But is consistency really the goal, or has it been confused with staying stuck?
Kendal and Kayla break down why this fear feels so real in a world that rewards predictability, and how it often stems from identity attachment and fear of disappointing early supporters. They share why growth is actually magnetic, how collectors are drawn to artists who evolve, and what really happens when you pivot.
Kendal also reflects on her own experience navigating change in her work, what she feared would happen, and what actually unfolded on the other side.
If you have been holding back from your next chapter because you are afraid of losing people, this episode will help you reframe what it means to grow.
Because the right audience does not leave when you evolve. They lean in.

March 23, 2026 84. Myth Buster #4: “I Need to Be Everywhere to Succeed” (Why More Platforms Won’t Make You More Sales)
In this episode of the Myth Buster series, Kendal and Kayla take on one of the most exhausting beliefs in the art world: that you have to be everywhere to be successful.
Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, email, art shows, the pressure to show up on every platform can feel like ambition, but often leads straight to burnout.
Kendal and Kayla break down where most artists’ sales actually come from, why trying to do everything spreads your energy too thin, and how focusing on just one or two core platforms can dramatically increase both visibility and revenue.
They also unpack the difference between being busy and being effective, how repetition and consistency build trust with collectors, and why choosing sustainable marketing channels matters even more when balancing life, kids, and creative work.
If you have ever felt like you are falling behind because you are not everywhere, this episode will help simplify your strategy and focus on what actually drives sales.
Because success does not come from doing more, it comes from doing the right things consistently.

March 16, 2026 83. Myth Buster #3: “If It Doesn’t Sell Immediately, It’s a Failure” (The Truth About How Art Actually Sells)
In this episode of the Myth Buster series, Kayla and Kendal tackle a belief that quietly discourages many artists: if a piece doesn’t sell right away, it must be a failure.
But the truth is, art rarely behaves like fast retail.
Kayla and Kendal unpack why many strong pieces take time to find the right home, how collectors actually make buying decisions, and why immediate sales are a terrible metric for judging the value of artwork. From the psychology of collectors to the real timeline of how art sells, they discuss why patience, repetition, and visibility matter far more than instant results.
Kendal also shares stories from her own career. Pieces she once worried about eventually found the perfect collector months or even years later.
If you have ever felt discouraged watching a new piece sit unsold, this episode helps reframe what success in the art world actually looks like.
Because sometimes the art that takes the longest to sell is the art that resonates the deepest.

March 09, 2026 82. Myth Buster #2: “I Can Only Raise My Prices When I Get Bigger” (Why Waiting Is Costing You Sales)
In this Myth Buster episode, Kayla and Kendal tackle one of the most common beliefs holding artists back: “I can only raise my prices once I get bigger.”
Many artists assume they need a larger following, gallery representation, or more recognition before they’re allowed to charge more for their work. But waiting for some imaginary milestone can quietly stall both growth and confidence.
In this conversation, we unpack why artists delay raising prices, how popularity gets confused with value, and why pricing decisions should be based on strategy... not follower count.
If you’ve ever wondered when it’s actually the right time to raise your prices, this episode will help you rethink the timing and approach your pricing with far more clarity and confidence.

March 02, 2026 81. Myth Buster #1: “My Art Is Too Niche” (And That’s Exactly Why It’ll Sell)
You’ve said it.
We’ve all said it.
“My art is too niche.”
In this first episode of our Myth Buster series, Kendal and Kayla unpack one of the most common beliefs keeping artists stuck; the fear that being too specific means being too small.
We talk about what artists really mean when they say “too niche,” why social media makes broad appeal look safer, and how comparison quietly convinces you to water down your work.
Here’s the truth: niche builds authority.
Specific sells faster.
Collectors don’t buy general... they buy identity.
We share real examples of artists who leaned into their specificity and grew because of it, plus the mindset shift that changes everything.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to make your work more “marketable,” this one’s for you.
And we’ll leave you with one simple action step:
Define your niche in one sentence and decide who your art is not for.
Because the moment you stop trying to convert everyone…
is the moment the right people start finding you.
