We're BACK and kicking off season four (finallyyyy!) with a discussion on the five main concerns I've been hearing about from artists recently. In having a lot of conversations with you all over the past month, there were some definite themes and struggles that came up on repeat. I wanted to put them all in one place so we could traverse the ground together and also to let you know: you're definitely not alone in these!



In this episode where we cover a wide range of topics such as...

• How to understand your own work better and the three components of your work you should be able to identify


• What to do if you feel disconnected from what you're making or worried that it doesn't have meaning behind it


• All things talking, sharing and writing about your work. What is too personal? How can we come up with interesting things to say?


• A practice I recommend for when you feel "all over the place"


• Important ways to compartmentalize and structure your studio practice


• Different ways to connect with other artists and find creative community


• How to know when it's time to lean into the professional side of things or stay focused on developing your work


• A whole lot more!
