    The Comeback Kid

    Welcome to “The Grateful Artist Podcast”. I’m Stephanie Paige, artist and author, and I’m here with my cohost, Evan Griffith- writer, art gallery owner for 30 years and someone who knows a thing or two about coming back stronger when life pushes you away. Today, we’re diving into a theme that’s been on our minds a lot lately, The Comeback Kid. We’ll talk about how many creatives, artists, writers, and dreamers, sometimes step away from their craft, only to find that their greatest growth comes after the pause. I’ve seen it countless times: artists who take a break and come back with fresh clarity, new energy, and often, their best work yet. But the journey isn’t smooth, and sometimes, that break can feel endless. We’ll explore the steps we believe can help anyone with a creative pause, recognizing that a break is part of the process, revisiting your “why,” and letting go of old limiting beliefs. And we’ll share stories and insights that help you leave behind doubts, fears, and stories that keep you stuck. Most importantly, it’s about starting small again, and building momentum toward your next big breakthrough. And to kick it off, Evan will share an inspiring quote from Celeste Headlee: "Humans need regular breaks. We don’t persist; we pulse." It’s all about rhythm, finding your natural pulse and trusting that it will carry you forward. Get ready to embrace the art of the comeback, because, when you stay true to your path, magic happens.

    The Grateful Artist Podcast - The Answer’s In Your Studio

    In this episode of “The Grateful Artist Podcast”, we start by sharing a touching community moment - Evan received a message out of the blue from his childhood friend, Glen Corry, expressing how much he enjoyed our recent “Radical Changes” Q&A episode. It’s always humbling when the people we least expect reach out to share how our conversations and ideas have made an impact. If you'd like to share your story or thoughts, feel free to email us at Evan@EvanGriffithNotes.com—your experience could be featured next. The heart of this episode is the powerful mantra: "The Answer’s In Your Studio." Evan and I talk about how this simple statement has helped our friends, family, and clients navigate everything from career pivots to stress management. We’ve known legendary artists like David Gordon and Sue Brown Gordon for decades- Sue, a renaissance woman who runs multiple street festivals, reminded us that the key to problem-solving often lies in the space where we create. When Ann was uncertain after selling her gallery, Sue’s advice was clear - “The answer is in your studio.” That truth has helped us all make pivotal moves. We explore how this mantra applies across all areas of life, money, relationships, career, and personal growth. When you dive into your creative work, you often find the answers bubbling up, whether it’s deciding whether to rent or buy, make new friends, or even replace an old car. The process of creating often unearths the gritty solutions we need, and in that sacred space, we reconnect with ourselves. The studio is where life’s biggest questions find their answer-hidden in the art and in our own inner motion. So, whether you're struggling with stress or navigating life’s uncertainties, the message stays true: the answers are always waiting for you in your studio, in your work, and in your heart. Keep creating, keep trusting, because the magic you seek is already there, in your space, in your process, and in the quiet conviction that the answers lie within.

    Sparks Pod - Creative Obsession - Funky French Word & More

    Welcome, everyone, to “The Sparks Pod” Brought to you by “The Grateful Artist Podcast”! Stephanie, and Evan Griffith are your host. Today, we’re diving into a fascinating mix of art, inspiration, and the deeper questions we all ask ourselves. The theme for this episode is “Creative Obsession, Odyssey the Movie, and a Funky French Word” and trust me, it’s going to be a wild ride. We kick off with some deep thoughts from having a Creative Obsession and the toll it can take on our lives. Evan Talks about, Joseph Campbell about what we’re truly seeking. We all crave meaning, but sometimes, what we’re really searching for is to feel fully alive, something that pushes us beyond the surface and into our authentic selves. We’ll talk about the new movie “Odyssey” a story that’s Odysseus struggles to return home to his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus from the aftermath of the Trojan War. Evan will introduce us to a French word that caught his fancy, “croqueton”, which means “little sketch” - a perfect metaphor for those spontaneous, fleeting moments of inspiration that often lead to our greatest breakthroughs. I’ll share my insights from the book *Creative Obsession*, which discusses how to find balance in pursuing your passions and how obsession can be both a fuel and a trap. And finally, we’ll wrap up with stories, lessons, and the sparks that are still burning bright within us. So stay tuned, because the journey to creativity and authenticity is a wild, beautiful adventure.

    The Grateful Artist Podcast - "Yeah But"

    Episode Summary: Yeah But… In this episode of “The Great Artist Podcast”, Stephanie and Evan explore a universal challenge: the phrase “Yeah, But”, that voice inside that blocks us from taking the next step toward our goals. They discuss how this phrase appears when we’re excited about a new project or dream, only to be met with doubts, fears, or limitations that hold us back. Stephanie shares how she first noticed the recurring “Yeah but” attitude in her own creative journey, when she was ready to grow and create but kept hitting roadblocks with self-doubt and fear of failure. Evan introduces three specific examples he’s observed in himself and others: - The artist or entrepreneur who nearly makes it but then stops when success is just within reach. - Creatives who focus on how their work “should” be perfect, and no matter how good it gets, it’s never enough. - The most common “Yeah but”: the negative voice that floods your mind and discourages any new ideas or risks. Together, they discuss practical ways to recognize these “Yeah buts” early and how to nip them in the bud before they overwhelm your progress. This episode is all about breaking free from these limiting beliefs and moving boldly forward, because your dreams are worth it.
