What does it really take to leave a job and become a full-time artist—with kids, responsibilities, and a whole new country to navigate? 🎨🇦🇺 In this powerful and inspiring conversation, I speak with Maria Jose Benvenuto, a Chilean artist living in Australia, about how she turned a childhood dream into a full-time profession.

We talk about:

• How freedom and discipline go hand in hand
• Why curiosity is the engine of creativity and reinvention
• The mindset shift from fear to action—and how Maria handles rejection and judgement
• Her transition from working at Red Bull to painting full-time
• The power of structured spontaneity in a creative life
• Practical advice for anyone afraid of putting themselves out there on social media

Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or simply at a crossroads—Maria’s honesty, optimism, and clarity might be just what you need. Check out her art on Instagram: @mariajosebenvenuto.

🎧 Tune in for a refreshing reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out — just the courage to start.
