45. The Last 2 Months of Laggy Self worth, mega Self Sabotage and so. many. tips. Feb 07, 2024

This episode is a good one. I get into what’s been going on the last two months (in the studio and in life) and how the solutions & takeaways I found can translate into getting YOU out of your own slump. Let’s call it the weather, let’s call it S.A.D. but whatever it is, we don’t have time for it -- bigger and better things lie ahead.

I also get into how I reinfused my practice with the nostalgic practices that made me so happy in 2018 & 2019, reconnecting with the daily habits that help hold me together and there’s even a few subpar jokes sprinkled in. You're welcome. Remember to rate & review the show if you loved this episode! Enjoy!

44. How personal discipline affects your success, stress levels and income Dec 07, 2023

In today's episode I get you caught up on what my last few months of working for two shows (opening on the same day!) have been. Through this retelling, I offer up gallery insight, gauging your capacity to work and working smart during this busy season, cuting back on drinking and really taking this sh!t seriously!

I also give you tips for journaling for future you – let’s set you up for success, mentally and hey… maybe even physically.

PS: This episode was recorded on-the-go in my studio on my ol' iPhone (not my normal setup or mic) so I appreciate your understanding with the wonky audio!

34. Recognizing the energy of Inviting VS. Bringing, Opening up to Support & Building Trust between you and you Aug 24, 2023

In this episode, I give you a really beautiful journaling prompt (that I found in my Superhuman meditation the morning I recorded... I know… I’m sorry, the app is just so vital to my day! My life! I can’t make this stuff up. This wasn't planned. Promise.)

We will discuss the energy & importance of the words Inviting VS. Bringing and how this language can impact our approach to life. How are living with and open invitation rather than shouldering all of your success solo?

Let me know if you stick to the 2-week or 30 day challenge with the daily journaling prompt & tag me on IG in your stories! I’ll be doing this along with you and can't wait to hear how transformative this experience is for you.

Hi my friend! In this episode I discuss where I've been hiding the last few weeks, what's been going on with my headspace, providing helpful insight for anyone else going through the Rosies (or that is my hope, anyway). I also get into how important real life conversations are with other creatives and I dare you to pick up the telephone. Oh and of course... I get into a little convo about meditating. But what else is new?

32. Art is basically science, learning to take risks with your work & doing MORE Aug 03, 2023

Listen, I’m not trained in public speaking but I’m definitely making Einstein proud with this episode. So that's gotta count for something. This episode ranges from art being a science, us as creatives needing to push our ‘scary’ thoughts out & onto the canvas and so many other little tangents that I know SOMEONE out there needs to hear. Happy listening.

28. Hot Take: YOU are the only one stressing you out?? Oct 19, 2022

In this episode I talk a lot about conscious workload as we creep further into Q4. I also discuss how it’s ok to do things differently than how you’ve done them in the past, even if they were successful. We are always changing so the action points of our business also get to change, if we wish and if they feel like we’ve outgrown them.

We control what we consume, what we say yes to and how we feel about all of it so… act accordingly! This is your life and you get to do things creatively on your terms.

Today I’m sharing some not-so-exceptional moments I’ve experienced as of late in hopes to let you know that it’s okay to feel like absolute trash, regardless of where you are in life/your career. We’re just humans, you know? As long as we’re learning from the sad times, we’re on the right track. More compassion, more love, more kindness… That’s the stuff that makes this episode tick.

This week we’re answering a question submitted by YOU, a devoted listener, going over how I like to talk about my work… but on an even deeper level, how it’s not just talking about art/our business; it’s an entire brand.

The key is building confidence and reminding yourself why you do what you do, whether that be through vision boards or group critiques. No matter what you do or sell, if you know your why then you’ll always be speaking correctly in my book :)

We’ve all been there: You’re moving and grooving, life is happening all around you but then something just feels… meh. Or maybe something BIG happened and you can’t snap back. You’re just not feeling like yourself!

1. The Intro Episode Jan 26, 2022

It’s been over 2.5 years since I had the desire to create a podcast. I’ve always loved helping others see their full potential, especially when combined with my learning-through-doing storytelling. But as my calendar filled quickly over those 2.5 years, passion projects (like this podcast) fell to the wayside. So after a long, long awaited debut… Welcome to the show! We finally did it!

In this episode, I give you an overview of my background, how I came to be an artist and what led me to creating this podcast. We also get into what I’ve created each year as my business has grown and how I pivoted to continue to listen to my intuition as the years have gone by.
