Affirming, genuine & inspiring!
This podcast has ironed out so many existential and everyday quagmires I run into as an artist just beginning to start her own business. The artists are diverse in their areas of work and perspectives. There is no pretension in this podcast, which I absolutely love.

Engaging Conversations
The conversational style of this podcast not only feels really great; it also leads to some deep insights in a way that keeps me connected to the artist’s heart while also stretching me and creating an opportunity to see things differently!
