**Regrettably, I recorded this episode while out on a walk on a windy day, so a couple times throughout, the audio quality is poorer than usual.

I considered recording this ep again, but my “why” behind doing these at all is to simply build up the skill of showing up here consistently and embracing the process, even if its chaotic and messy.

If you’re an audio snob, this is not the show for you.**

In this episode, I talk about continuing to share and market older art and how I recently realized I have some resistance around this!

I wanna focus on the NEW things I’m making, and yet, I do myself (and my ppl!) a disservice when I ghost on older artworks that haven’t yet found homes.

So to help myself move over this growth-edge, I’ve given myself a challenge to market my older works each week!

If you wanna market art (old or new!) this is an episode for you.

Back and ready to chat after a week away!

In this episode, I share what I’m working on in my creative practice as well as in my creative business.

I share why I don’t think creative doubt is a problem, where it's been showing up for me lately, how raising your prices impacts both community as well as your self-worth, and a practice for working with doubt as a portal to great self-acceptance, compassion and growth.

In this episode I talk about:

• My love for “walk & talks” as a tool for navigating the early stages & messy middle of creative processes
• How our inner “good girls” tend to get in the way of our creative process and the importance of meeting them with love but not letting them lead
• Why we need to un-shame and embrace the parts of ourselves that our inner “good girl” fears are “bad”
• What I’m planning to teach next in my artist mastermind
• The power of messy, imperfect action as a creative SKILL
• Dormancy/rest as an essential part of the creative process
• A question to ask yourself to see where you’re leading with your inner “good girl”
