Have you ever poured your heart into a furniture piece — proud of every brushstroke — only to share it with friends or family and get… crickets? 🦗

You’re not alone. In this episode, Val shares what one of her mentors reminded her: when you step out to create something new, the people closest to you often won’t understand it — and that’s okay.

They’re not your creative peers. They’re not your audience.

Val opens up about what that feels like, why it happens, and how to find real encouragement through community and faith. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective, a lighter heart, and a reminder that your creative calling matters.

💙 You were made to create.
