    5 Healthy Phone Boundaries to Try

    Setting healthy boundaries with your phone is a huge challenge! As artists it can feel like we are expected to be on our phones all the time – posting, sharing, and always active on social media.

We aren’t experts, and we are probably in the same boat as you are when it comes to relating to your phone, but we are here to share our struggles and what we do to strive toward more balance. So, tune in to Episode #75 of the Thriving Artists Podcast, 5 Healthy Phone Boundaries to Try, to hear our thoughts on how we work to find our boundaries with our phones!

    How to Recover from Rejection as an Artist

    In this episode, we open up about a topic that is not frequently discussed among artists: rejection! Artists are always applying to things such as shows, residencies, or grants. And rejection is just going to happen! We really believe we need more transparency in the art world and talking about rejection is certainly an area where we need to know we are not alone. It’s not easy to discuss when things don’t go our way and yet, being open helps us connect with others and move through the world with integrity. It can be so encouraging to know that you aren’t the only one who feels a sense of failure.  So, join us for Episode #72 of the Thriving Artists Podcast, How to Recover from Rejection as an Artist, to talk about the process of going through those pesky rejections. We believe how we handle rejection is important, so tune in to own your artist identity and the inevitable rejection that comes with it!

    5 Reasons You Need to Call Yourself an Artist

    This episode covers a topic close to our hearts, as we believe in embracing and owning our identities as artists! For some reason it can be a struggle for artists to use the title “artist” until they have achieved certain goals or a specific “level” of achievement. However, we can fall into the trap of always needing to meet a new goal before we find the confidence to validate ourselves and claim the artist identity, putting it off indefinitely. So we are here to encourage you to start doing it now! Tune into Episode #69 of the Thriving Artists Podcast, 5 Reasons You Need to Call Yourself an Artist. We are here for you, we are cheering you on, and we believe in the work you are doing as thriving artists!  Join the Thrive Together Network to build your network of support!
