End of year panic anyone? - Ep. 184
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? What would bring your dreams and desires into reality? Is there a way to measure your progress, daily or weekly?

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. How does being myself fully look like? How can I jump into ditching this starving artist myth fully? What do I need to get me there? What is the next step?

Coming up with your storyline - Ep. 180
I love to read artist biographies, especially about female artists. I’m always very inspired by their heroine stories. Their stories truly can light a fire within me. So today it hit me, why don’t start to create my very own storyline for my creative life? So I can become the protagonist and the storyteller at once. Sounds a bit weird, but I’m challenging you to stay with me and join me in today's conversation. I’d love to explore with you what we can learn from the stories of the great artists that went before us. Journal Prompts from today's episode: I’d love to invite you to come up with your very own life story: What is the storyline going to be? Are you going to be boldly passionate? Are you going to be a crazy ambitious creator? Or are you an accidental professional creator? Are you the young one who right away was recognized? Or are you the person who came to art later in life and is then crushing it? What would you like to be part of your story?

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 can afford the lifestyle I desire. I'm ready to receive. My creative work sells like hotcakes. PICK AND CHOOSE FOUR JOURNAL PROMPT OPTIONS: What would living your most abundant life look like?

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. There was no time left to focus on creating a beautiful home, spending time with each other or spending time working out or just relaxing. One day I woke up and knew that I was doing this all wrong.

Are you afraid of your dreams - Ep. 178
Are you afraid of your dreams? You know the sort of dream that makes you stick out like a sore spot. I’m not talking about the dreams you’re supposed to have, like having children, finding a partner, or buying a home,…. Nope, I’m talking about the ones you know you’ll be judged for. The dreams that underline that you are different. Now let’s dive deep and explore these dreams and how you can honor them best. Journal Prompts from today's episode: Take note of all fears, limiting beliefs, or doom thinking you might find yourself with. Write them all down. Where is this coming from? Is there a specific voice that you hear? What is the worst thing that can happen? What do you feel when you think about this? Where do you feel this in your body? Ask as many questions as you can to get a good grip on where this is coming from.

Ep. 161 - Creating process-centered art
As creators, we can get into a habit of aiming to create more and more finished pieces so we can sell some more. We can get overwhelmed by commissioned pieces and lose track of the creational process. However losing your creational process, stopping to develop your craft, and letting go of free creative play will kill your creative business. So let’s start the conversation and explore how we as artists can create a process-centred art practice. Mentioned on the Show: Send me your review!

Ep. 158 - Trusting the timeline - creating art
Creating art isn’t a ready overnight kind of process. Creating art means allowing for time to develop your artistic voice, to allow experimentation, and exploration, and to allow for time to reflect and explore the vibration of your creative work. Over the past five years, I pulled back out of the public eye, to allow for time to create and explore. To give myself the freedom to develop my artistic voice on a deeper, more intense level. Today I’ll invite you to join me in a vulnerable reflection on that time and the challenge I faced feeling the need for time and the creative ambition pushing me forward, two very contrary needs that pushed and pulled. I’ll be sharing with you the wonderful gift this time and my insights and learnings so you can take them with you into your creative practice and life.
