What does it really mean to be free as an artist?

In this conversation, Mak and Valerie explore the tension between mastery and play, the discipline that builds skill, and the surrender that opens the soul. They unpack how both are essential, how each feeds the other, and why real creative freedom is not about choosing one side but learning to hold both.

It is an honest and reflective look at what happens when you stop trying to get it right and start listening to what your creativity and your life actually need.
