Your Art Matters

Should you quit your art? Your project? Your social media? In today's episode I'm digging into one of the most common questions I hear, and one I ask myself more than you might think. I share how I know when something genuinely needs to be let go, when I just need to do things differently, and when the real reason I want to quit is simply that I'm scared. Have you been asking yourself whether to walk away from something lately? Maybe you are tired of selling? Social media? Life feeling so full? If so, then this episode is for you.

HOW TO MOVE CLOSER TO WHAT YOU WANT FASTER Recently I told my friend Sharon I wished I was in flow more. And what she said back to me was so simple and so obvious that I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it myself. In today's episode I'm talking about flow, abundance and what actually happens when we focus on the lack of something rather than where it already exists in our lives right now. Is there something you've been waiting to arrive at before you feel okay? This one might help.

Your Art Matters

What platform should you put your art on right now? The truth is, we're living in a world that is noisier and more crowded online than it's ever been. And so the question of where to actually put yourself and your art has never felt more important or more confusing. In today's episode I'm walking through exactly how I approach choosing a platform, the question I always ask before anything else, why sharing your work is no longer enough on its own, and the advice I'd give myself if I was starting from scratch today. If you're just getting started or you've been at this a while, this one is...

Your Art Matters

Are you sitting on a teaching idea you haven't quite acted on yet? A year ago, Nicole was on a call with me wondering how to get her teaching off the ground. This week we got back together and I couldn't keep up with everything she had booked in. Vanessa's story is a different one - an artist who spent twenty five years teaching, burnt out completely, found her way back to her own practice, and is now creating something she actually loves. In today's episode, I chatted with Nicole and Vanessa, two artists from our community who've been on their own journey with teaching their art. They share...

Your Art Matters

What do you do when you genuinely don't know what you want anymore? That's the question I've been sitting with for the last year. In today's episode, I walk through the exact process I used to move through that uncertainty, including why I had to focus on joy before I could find any clarity at all. I share what it looked like to hit a wall after ten years of running things the same way, the daily practice that helped shift my energy when everything felt heavy, and how saying things out loud before they made any sense led me to opportunities I never expected. This isn't a five step formula....

Your Art Matters

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AN EXPERT TO HELP PEOPLE. HERE'S WHY. I've recorded close to three thousand talks over the last ten years.  And I still don't think of myself as a teacher. In today's episode, I'm talking about why, and how shifting from "teaching" to "creating experiences" has completely changed the way I build everything, from courses to community to the new project I'm starting this year. Join me on 13th July for a free masterclass where I break down the steps: from idea to income when it comes to teaching art and building experiences. You don’t need any experience. We have...

Your Art Matters

SITTING IN THE UNCOMFORTABLE MIXED WITH ‘WHAT IS THE NAUGHTIEST THING YOU DID AS A CHILD? The last year has been turbulent. That's probably the most honest word for it. I've been running United ArtSpace for ten years, and for six of those years I had a repeatable system that just worked. Launches, events, rinse and repeat. But something was different. The online world changed. I changed. And for the last twelve months I've been sitting in this uncomfortable, uncharted place of not quite knowing what comes next. I know a lot of you are sitting in that same place right now. I see it across...

Your Art Matters

How much time do we spend trying to think our way back to our creativity? I've done it for years. Sitting with the question, turning it over, trying to figure out the next piece or why things feel stuck. And sometimes that works. But over the last eight months I've been doing something very different and the shift in my confidence, my ideas and the opportunities coming my way has honestly made me stop and pinch myself. In today's episode, I'm talking about sound, movement and breath, and how leaning into these has reset something in me I didn't even know needed resetting.   THE CREATIVE...
