This week is a love letter to the artsy women out there who are struggling to find time for creativity. In the whirlwind of daily responsibilities and demands of this modern life, it is too easy for our creative souls to be stifled and neglected. Everybody wants a piece of us, and so this is especially true for the incredible women who have a deep, innate artistic spirit that doesn't see the light of day nearly often enough. So to you, dear artsy women, this episode is a reminder that your creativity matters, and an invitation to prioritize that version of self-care and make space for your creative passions.

I also talk about the joy of experimenting with new mediums, in my case, oil painting, and the value of taking a new approach now and then, in life and in painting! Enjoy!

In my latest podcast episode, I share a personal story about my art journey and how I overcame some creative confusion when my talented painter mom gave me a game-changing tip. 

We'll explore the underestimated "damn color wheel" and how it transformed my artwork. I also experimented with different color schemes and applied these principles to my earlier works, resulting in amazing outcomes. This episode teaches us an important lesson: sometimes, going back to basics and truly understanding them can lead to tremendous growth and success. Let's reflect on where we might be overlooking fundamentals in our own lives and learn how to unlock our true potential together.

Call it what you will, artist block, writers block, creative block, when those voices are in charge, it seems like everything else we know and have confidence in has disappeared.

Join me in this episode where I talk about some sure-fire ways to break through those blocks every time (it's never a one and done kinda thing, btw), whether you're drawing, painting, writing, leading...you name it, let's get you unstuck!

I talk to a lot of people about drawing, painting, doodling, and the like, and often times, they'll say, "I just don't have the confidence that I know what I'm doing. I mean, if I don’t know I’m going to do it right, I’m not sure it’s worth doing at all.”

But it turns out, there are tools to help you bridge that confidence gap, and this episode deals with one of the most powerful of those tools, the thumbnail. ❤️

In this episode, we examine how to shift your mindset around time, so that you easily and regularly show up for your creativity!

In this episode we're talking about stick figures, those simple, humble drawings that seem to hold so much power in our lives. I'm here to show you just how much potential lies within that little stick figure once you stop using it to hold you back from being your most creative self!

Our bonus episodes each week are my artful odyssey with the exercises I've suggested for all of us in the episode prior.

So our last episode titled, Let's Go See, invited you to use my five-step mindfulness method to observe, to simply see and then decide whether or not you want to capture what you see, and/or create something from it, simply being present to our observations and mindful of what comes up from them and then taking it from there.

Excited to welcome you to my new show, share a bit about how I became a professional artist, and invite you to a regular practice of seeing and creating! In this episode I talk about how art saved me from a very dark period post-COVID, and became my new profession.

I'll also share a 5-Step Mindfulness Method that will enhance your observation AND appreciation skills, both of which are vital to creativity. Enjoy!
