Beautiful listen

I love listening to the depth and stories in this podcast. The questions are always so thoughtful and interesting. I can’t wait to hear more 🤍

A must listen for women, moms and artists alike!

I’ve been following Mona since we met a few years ago in the Art Queens. She’s inspired me endlessly, watching her grow Art Mums United.
She’s providing so many opportunities for women artists around the world.
Meeting Valentine in this podcast and listening to her and Mona — it’s perfection! They *are* a match made in heaven!
They are both natural behind the mic and the thought provoking conversations had me here bingeing on their words all morning!
