Oh my goodness your’e about to listen to good friends talking reminiscing and reconnecting though our journeys of self discovery and growth. My brain was firing in all directions as we talked as I was in my element, you’ll be able to tell! So, what you are listening to is two friends riffing and creating.

We talk about escapism, moralitites, marketing, inner critic, self sabotage, struggles, resonance, play and mental health. Alongside that we explore our experiences of being seen, vulnerability, fear, trust, risk, finance, communication therapy, GROWTH, differences, unconscious processes, authentic self, art as a form of self therapy in childhood, feminism,vulnerability self expression and the spaces of unknown as not only an artist/illustrator/creatives but, also as any professional and individuals

*NOTE contains expletives so, not suitable to be listening around children!

Join me in this AMAZING fun conversation with Deborah Porter from Core Art Journaling. So thankful for the open and vulnerable conversation as we take a deeper dive into a journey of addictions and what it looks like to be surviving and recovering though a conversation with layered journaling that is completely accessible.
Deborah is such an inspiration and shares her 'Art Wounds' and how she created her 'side passion' by creating 'art for all'. She now works with adults and young teenagers to help them explore their own inner feelings and allowing these to be accessible.
I'm sure there will be more conversations to be recorded in the future.

I'm so excited to be bringing you this podcast with Iain McCaig. A dear friend of mine you will know him as an incredible Concept Artist/Writer and film maker.

We take a deep dive into mental health in the art industry. We take a deeper dive into the rollercoaster of emotions that can be fine tuned to work for us rather than hold us hostage. As Iain says to 'Learn how to dream with your eyes open'.

We talk about Iain's process of Soul Sketch book ©Iain McCaig as a form of capturing our expression and opening up spaces for internal dialogue and self enquiry.
