Calming + NEEDED!

Grateful for Volta for making this podcast, it’s needed. Things are hectic and crazy these days but when you can sit down, breathe and affirm — everything gets lighter.
Excited for more episodes. Thanks Volta!

Actionable, Affirmative, AND Artful? Whaaaaat?

This is my dream podcast. Volta has such a sweet voice, but don’t let it fool you- she is SHARP! She provides actionable insights and affirmations that can create real change for creatives like myself who struggle with:

Anxiety
Impostor Syndrome
Distraction
Overwhelm
Isolation
“Starving Artist” Mindset

Highly recommend swapping at least one snack in your day for this podcast. It’s at least as tasty and definitely more fulfilling.
