In this episode, we dive into the personal and emotional journey of calling ourselves artists.

From leaving corporate jobs to dealing with health issues, we share how we overcame the hurdles and finally embraced our true selves. We chat about the initial struggles, like introducing ourselves as artists and facing societal stereotypes.

To help you on your journey, we offer some practical advice, like journaling and creating positive affirmations, to build your confidence. We also talk about the importance of connecting with other artists and building a supportive
community.

By the end of this episode, we hope to encourage you to proudly declare your artistic identity and open up new opportunities for yourself. If you're struggling with calling yourself an artist, this chat is definitely for you!
