This episode is a personal one.

I’m talking about purpose with Guest Quinn Tempest. Not the kind you sit around waiting to discover, but the kind you build. The kind you create by showing up, paying attention, and slowly realizing what still matters enough to keep going.

After everything that shifted in 2024, I’ve had to reexamine what is true, what no longer fits, and what I’m still here to do. In this season of my life and business, I know with more clarity than ever that purpose is not passive. It’s something we shape through our choices, our creativity, and the work we decide is worth continuing.

In this conversation with Quinn Tempest we talk about creating purpose instead of trying to “find” it, why that idea matters so much right now, and how we build meaningful work in a world that keeps trying to push us toward noise, speed, and performance.

If you’ve been questioning what you’re here to do, how to reconnect with your work, or whether your next chapter can be built with more intention, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by printmaker and teacher Ruth Ander, an artist who proves you don’t need a press, a studio, or a “proper setup” to make stunning work.

We talk about how Ruth found printmaking, why she chose the path that felt right even when teachers told her not to, and how making at home gave her creative freedom.

Ruth breaks down her process in a way that makes you want to clear off your kitchen table and start. Roll out a little paint. Pull a print. See what happens.

But we also talk about what shifts when you decide your art is more than a side project. When you’re willing to invest time, energy, and resources into building something sustainable. When you move from hoping it works to treating it like it matters.

Ruth shares what changed when she stopped holding back and started building her art course business with intention.

After a long pause, I’m returning with conversations about what creativity is actually for. Not just how to grow faster or sell more, but why making matters in the first place.

In this episode, I sit down with UK textile artist and founder of No Rules Textile Society, Jayne Emerson. We talk about building a creative business without hustle, choosing depth over scale and creating something sustainable instead of chasing constant expansion.

Jayne shares how she moved from quietly selling textile samples to major fashion houses to openly teaching her methods and building a membership rooted in permission and play. We talk about “following the fizz,” turning perceived flaws into strengths, and why your art practice has to become non-negotiable if you want your business to feel aligned.

If you’re an artist or creative educator who wants a business that supports your life instead of consuming it, this episode will resonate.
