I Have a Problem With Frames - Ep 194
Do I actually hate frames? How do I want my work to actually exist within a space? Lately, I’ve found myself going down a whole new rabbit hole around framing and art presentation. In this episode, I’m sharing where I am in that exploration right now: the gaps I’ve noticed in my own art education, my first experiments in the studio, the practical questions that immediately arise, and why I’m beginning to see art presentation as its own area of research within my artistic practice. Join me while I figure out my position on all of this in real time — and no, this isn't a before-and-after episode. This is going to be a longer journey you can come along on.

Art, Life & a Ridiculous Amount of Possibility - Ep. 193
Today, there’s no neat lesson or five-step takeaway. I’m taking you into the middle of it instead — while things are still evolving, questions are still open and I have absolutely no idea where some of them will lead. A lot is moving right now. Not in a beautifully curated, everything-makes-sense kind of way. More in a natural, slightly whirlwindy, creatively alive kind of way. I’m talking about getting back into the studio, artistic research becoming a bigger part of my practice again, craving more connection with the art world, wildly dreaming up different versions of our future, getting rid of a ridiculous amount of stuff, and that strange feeling of possibilities opening up that haven’t been there for more than a decade. So this episode is really just: come hang out with me in the middle of it. I suspect quite a few of these threads will turn into their own episodes as I figure out where they’re going.

What happens when your art business is thriving... but your income is still tied to everything you create? In this episode, we're exploring the Scaling Creator stage—the point where your business is working, but your vision has grown beyond simply creating and selling your next piece. We'll talk about the shift from building a business to building an ecosystem, why scaling is as much an identity shift as a business strategy, and how to create a business that supports more impact, more freedom, and a life that doesn't depend entirely on your time and energy. If you've been feeling called toward a bigger vision but aren't sure what comes next, this episode will help you see the possibilities waiting beyond your current way of working.

What happens when your art business finally works... but you're more exhausted than fulfilled? In this episode, we're exploring the Seasoned Creator stage—the point where you've built a successful creative business, but the very thing you dreamed of begins pulling you away from the studio. We'll talk about why growth starts to feel heavy, the identity shift from artist to leader, and why systems, support, and letting go become just as important as creativity itself. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I just want to get back into the studio," this episode will help you understand why—and what your next step might be.

the Starving Artist
The starving artist isn't just someone who struggles financially. It's a stage many artists move through—where your creative voice is finally coming alive, but building a business still feels confusing, frustrating, or completely out of alignment. In this episode, we're unpacking the starving artist myth, why traditional business advice often falls flat for creatives, and what actually needs to shift to move from hoping your art career works… to deciding you're going to make it work. If you've ever wondered why visibility, selling your work, or showing up online feels so much harder than creating the art itself, this conversation is for you.

the Aspiring Artist
Building an art business doesn't start with marketing. It starts with finding your artistic voice. In this episode, we're exploring the Aspiring Artist stage—the season where your focus isn't on selling your work, but on discovering what you truly want to create, what your art stands for, and the kind of creative life you're dreaming of. We'll talk about why rushing into business too soon can hold you back, how sharing your work helps you find your voice, and why making the "wrong" art is often exactly what leads you to the right work. If you've ever wondered whether you're focusing on the right things at the right time, this episode will help you find some clarity.

Why You're Stuck Building Your Art Business. (It's Probably Not What You Think)
Episode 187 - Why You're Stuck Building Your Art Business. (It's Probably Not What You Think) Most artists don't get stuck because they lack talent—they get stuck because they're focusing on the wrong things at the wrong time. In this episode, I introduce the four stages of building a thriving art career and explain why knowing your current stage can save you years of frustration, wasted energy, and expensive detours. Whether you're just starting out, beginning to sell your work, building a sustainable business, or ready to scale your impact, you'll discover what deserves your attention right now—and what can wait. You'll also learn why solving "future you" problems is one of the biggest reasons artists stay stuck, and how identifying your stage can help you grow with more clarity and confidence. Plus, I'll share a free quiz that helps you discover exactly where you are and where to focus next. This episode is the foundation for the series ahead, where we'll dive deep into each stage and the mindset, strategy, and business shifts that help you move forward.

It’s that time of the year when time seems to speed up, and we’re confronted with the reality of whatever we’ve been doing or not doing throughout the past year. I know if you’re anything like me, you started into the year with at least a rough idea of where you’d like to take things. Yes, you might not have committed to obvious minimal outcomes, but I know you probably had a rough idea in your mind and heart. The year is luckily not yet over, and we still have a little bit of time to change directions, yes big lofty goals might be off the table, but smaller direction changes are still possible. So, how do you feel looking back at the past few months Where are you now? And did you work on your goals? Are you frustrated, excited, proud? Or a little bit ashamed? Let’s continue the conversation in today's episode. Journal Prompts from today's episode: What would make the year 2024 successful? How would you be able to turn the sails now?

Let’s ditch the how for now. - Ep. 183
I have a bit of an unconventional approach to figuring out the ho. So stay with me for a moment, because what I’m about to say is going to challenge you. However, I do believe that you’ll agree with me at the end of today's episode. I think you should ditch figuring out the how for now. I know it’s so tempting every time we come up with dreams, desires, and goals in our head, we’re jumping directly to: ‘But how are we going to do this?’ And yes, I believe learning how to do things is important, but I also do know that we took our obsession with the how-to far. So let’s entertain the thought of ditching the how for now, in today's episode. Journal Prompts from today's episode: So, just look at your life currently: Where are you, what do you do? What can you be grateful for? Which resources do you currently have? Then, once you’ve gotten clarity on that, ponder the following questions: Where you’re currently hanging out, ask yourself, Where do I want to go? What is the difference between the person I currently am and the person I desire to become? What is different in these two version of you’s lives?

Ditching the Struggle - Ep. 182
In Artist circles, we’ve all been confronted with the idea of selling out. However, I do, from the bottom of my heart, not believe in it. And I’m wondering how it is for you. Do you believe in the myth of the starving artist? Do you believe that the only way to live out your creative passion truly is only possible if you rid yourself of all earthly wants and needs? Do you believe that whenever an artist is selling their work with ease, they are inherently selling out and betraying the artist’s profession? Do you believe that to be a true artist, you can only live out one true, passionate way that won’t bring money? If you’re hanging out here with me, I can not believe that you truly think that’s true, but hear me out… Journal Prompts from today's episode: Ask yourself what would living my best creative life look like.

Money Versus Passion - Ep. 179
When we grew up, we got indoctrinated by the idea that you’ll have to choose between making money and you’re passion. Or that if you’re fortunate, you could keep your passion on the side and do it as a hobby. But if you dared to choose your passion as a profession, you would surely end up starving and relying on other people's money. Today, I’d love to share some secrets with you on how to overcome these limiting beliefs. Journal Prompts from today's episode: PICK AND CHOOSE, FOUR AFFIRMATIONS TO TRY: I deserve luxury.

I’ve felt like I was failing every day for months. I created plans, worked on business courses, tried to figure out social media, created my art, and worked on what felt like 100 projects all at once. All this meant I felt like I was not only feeling like I failed in my business but also failing my family and myself.
