    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.

    The Grateful Artist Podcast - Making BIG life changes with Evan Griffith

    Hello, everyone! Welcome to “The Great Artist Podcast”. Today, I’m sitting down with my good friend - Podner, Evan Griffith, as he navigates a huge turning point in his life. Evan just sold his beloved Studio E Gallery to his trusted friend, Dan, and he’s embarking on a brand-new adventure, selling his house, moving to Orlando, and starting fresh with his wife Ann, an extraordinary artist.

We’ll go back to the moment Evan decided it was time to make these bold changes, what went into that decision, and what he had to go through to get there. We’re asking the big questions, what happens when you’re faced with a life-altering choice, and how do you trust the universe to guide you when everything is shifting? If you’re contemplating big changes in your own life, this conversation is loaded with insights and honesty, and I think you’ll find it both inspiring and real.

    Sparks Pod - The World Is An Exciting Question Mark

    In this episode of “The Sparks Pod”, we explore the idea that, “The World is an exciting question mark” full of mystery and endless possibilities. We start by sharing a viral story from Bangkok, where hundreds gathered to ‘do nothing,’ reminding us that sometimes, the simplest act of stillness can spark deep insight. I reflect on my own experience of facing the possibility of losing everything in a fire, and how that moment made me realize what truly matters, my loved ones and what I carry in my heart. Evan then shares how he sees the world as an “exciting question mark”, especially after landing in a successful new space following a difficult period. We discuss how shifting our perspective, from Seeing the world as a threat to viewing it as full of wonder, can ignite new creative energy. I introduce a collection of Carl Jung’s philosophies, highlighting how inner wisdom guides us through uncertainty. Finally, we explore Elizabeth Lesser’s beautiful reflection on human longing and the universal search for meaning, reminding us all that even our feelings of loneliness are part of the bigger picture. We wrap up by asking: What’s something good that’s sparked for you lately? Join us for an inspiring conversation and stay curious, because the universe is always waiting for us to ask the right questions.

    The Grateful Artist Podcast - Karmic Marketing

    Welcome, everyone, to “The Grateful Artist Podcast”, where each week we explore powerful lessons about abundance, trust, and giving, everything that helps us grow, create, and connect. I’m Stephanie, artist and writer, and alongside my cohost Evan Griffith, writer, gallery owner, and all-around creative mentor, we’re digging into ideas that can transform your approach to life and art. Today’s episode is all about “karmic marketing” that idea of giving freely, from a genuine heart, and trusting that the universe will return what you send out in ways bigger than you can imagine. Evan will share stories like Joe Vitale’s journey of giving away that launched his success, and we’ll talk about how this concept can help you build authenticity and magnetize success without feeling ‘soulsy.’ We believe that the most powerful magic happens when you serve from a place of love and trust, not just in your art but in every part of your life. So, stay with us, because when you embrace the principles of karmic marketing, magic becomes inevitable.
