E215 | You Will Never Be an Artist - Let's Rewrite the Story
Your Art Matters
“You will never be an artist.” It’s a strong statement. But for many people, it’s not just a sentence - it’s a belief that’s slowly formed over time. From comparison. From doubt. From trying… and not feeling like it’s enough. This is what I unpack in today’s podcast episode. Sign up to our FREE Kickstart Your Art event starting on 13th April - click here:

E214 | How To Find Your Style - The First Step
Your Art Matters
How do you find your style? I’ve asked myself this question countless times over my 25 years as an artist. And I know I’m not alone. Many artists I meet wonder the same thing: How do I know when I’ve found it? We see other creatives whose work feels cohesive, recognisable. It’s tempting to think style is something you simply “arrive at.” But over the years, I’ve realised it’s not about having a polished, consistent look. It’s about finding your voice, and letting your life quietly feed it. If you’d like a little guidance on noticing your voice and tuning into your...

E213 | A Message For Those Feeling Creatively Stuck
Your Art Matters
There comes a point in your creative journey where you start to question everything. You’re showing up, you’re trying, you’re taking steps but it still feels like something isn’t quite clicking. I’ve been there. In fact, as I reflect on ten years of building United ArtSpace, I can see just how many times I felt like I was getting nowhere. And yet, those moments were shaping everything that came next. If you’re feeling that nudge, that sense that there’s more for you creatively even if you can’t fully see it yet, this is your reminder not to ignore it. And if you’re ready to...

E212 | Make your goal so small it's ridiculous not to do
Your Art Matters
Have you ever felt stuck because your goals feel too big, too far away, or just… overwhelming? It’s easy to get paralysed by the “what’s next?” in life or in your creative work. I recently heard a phrase from M in our Creative Living community that really resonated: “Make your goal so small it’s ridiculous not to do.” It’s a simple idea, but when you break things down into tiny, manageable steps, momentum starts to build almost magically.

209 | You’re Not Behind - You’re Still Shedding
Your Art Matters
STEPPING GENTLY INTO 2026: PAUSE, REFLECT, AND PREPARE Happy New Year, my friends! It feels so good to be back. As 2026 begins, you might be noticing a quiet stillness - a feeling that the year hasn’t quite arrived, that you’re not ready to rush forward just yet. This is a beautiful time to slow down, to shed what no longer serves you, and to get clear on how you truly want to feel. For me, it’s been about noticing patterns, releasing old habits, and gently tuning in to what brings ease, joy, and creativity. Before the year picks up pace, take a moment with me: What do you need to let go...
