That voice is so soothing

Love the tone of her voice. In love with her vulnerability and openess about the life of an artist. Other creatives can benefit from the podcast, even if your creative medium isn't necessarily visual arts.

Honest and Refreshing

A super honest and realistic glimpse into being an artist. Refreshing to hear we all share the same struggles, but with super helpful tips to keep moving forward.

Inspirational and refreshing

It's nice to hear the down-to-earth perspective. I think it's easy for creatives to get stuck in our own heads, and this podcast is just what we need to pull ourselves into reality.
