    Ashley Blazer on Letting Your Work Evolve, Returning to Painting, and Creating Through Change

    In this episode, I’m joined by artist Ashley Blazer, whose work is rooted in the natural world and explores spirituality, human presence, and the landscapes we move through — both physically and creatively. Ashley recently relocated from Austin, Texas to Charlottesville, Virginia, and we talk about how changing environments can reshape the way you see, make, and think about your work. Her practice spans painting, textiles, and sculpture, and one of the most powerful throughlines in this conversation is permission — permission to experiment, to step away from a medium, and to return to it with new clarity. We cover: Letting your artistic style evolve without forcing an “arrival” How environment and place influence creative work Balancing studio time with the realities of motherhood Navigating the business side of art without losing creative momentum Marketing, visibility, and building sustainable relationships as an artist Why discomfort in your practice is often a sign of growth This is an honest, grounded conversation for artists who are navigating change, refining their direction, or trying to balance creativity with the rest of life.

    The Year Didn’t Fail You. You Just Outgrew the Version of You Who Planned It.

    As the year winds down, it’s easy to focus on what didn’t get done — the goals you missed, the plans that fell apart, the version of the year you thought you were supposed to have. In this solo episode, I’m offering a different way to reflect. Most years don’t fail us. They educate us. We’re talking about why falling short doesn’t mean you did anything wrong, how creatives often outgrow the version of themselves who set their goals in January, and how to re-plan the year ahead from who you are now — not who you hoped you’d become. I’m also sharing how I use a word of the year as a guiding lens, why I look at it before I evaluate my goals, and what my past words — Expand, Rest, Refine — taught me about growth, capacity, and alignment. This year, my word is Trust, and I unpack what that really means in practice. If you’re feeling behind, burned out, or unsure how to make sense of a year that didn’t go exactly as planned, this episode is meant to ground you — not push you into another round of pressure-filled goal setting. Your goals didn’t expire. They evolved.

    From Special Ed Teacher to Full-Time Artist: How Kimberly Castrodale Found Her Style, Her Story, and Her Creative Rhythm

    In today’s episode, I sit down with artist Kimberly Castrodale to talk about her winding path from special education teacher to full-time artist, and how motherhood, loss, and everyday life continue to shape her work. Kimberly shares how she discovered her creative identity, embraced a slower evolving style, found meaning in florals, and learned to trust her own rhythm—even when it didn’t match what other artists say you “should” do. We dive into: – How she blended teaching, motherhood, and art before going full-time – The story behind her Wonder Collection and how loss transformed her creative practice – Why florals became her signature (and why she hesitated at first) – How she uses Instagram, her newsletter, and in-person shows to grow her audience – The surprising reason she reduced her studio time—and made better art – Her experience getting into major shows like Loyola and Spotlight on Art – The emotional rollercoaster of being an artist (and how she rides it) – The power of artist friendships, community, and not doing it alone If you’re an artist craving clarity, connection, or permission to build your practice your way, this conversation is full of honest insights, heart, and encouragement.
