Relatable for ALL creatives

I am relatively new to the art world and I have been searching for this kind of podcast for months! Each episode delves into topics of how it feels to run a business as a creative entrepreneur. I can always relate to what these women discuss and I am so relieved to hear that I am not alone. Sometimes it’s so vital to know that we are all going through the same stuff. And as a painter, alone and figuring it out as I go, I’m never sure if I’m doing things the right way. We all have the same internal and external struggles, and this podcast makes me feel less alone out here in the unfamiliar art world. I have loved binging this podcast and I always get excited when a new one comes out. I love this podcast and can’t wait to hear the next one.
