Let Us Create

How can your creative engine run when it’s low on fuel? What do you do when life gets busy and you feel like there’s no time for creating? If you worry about never having time to create again or losing your creative skills, this episode is for you! Creativity cycles are all too real and a major part of a creative life. Today, I discuss the ins and outs of creative flow and creative block and how to persist through creative hiatuses.

That is the question! Do you feel pressured to sell what you create? Artists Sara Glupker and Melissa Sauer talk about the value of creating for creating's sake and why a creative business path is not for everyone!

Ever feel like you're not good enough? Artists Brooke Ebeling and Melissa Sauer talk about the why creatives experience imposter syndrome and ways to overcome its negative impacts on your creativity and wellbeing.

Can creatives ever find their one true style? Artist Angela Giuliano and I talk about how to develop a style and all the things that make "having a style" both good and bad.

What's the big deal? Multi-media artist Bree Smith and I discuss the stigmas of full time and part time creatives, if one is better than the other, and how that influences experiences and opportunities in the creative world.

Feeling overworked? Grinding all the time? Artist Leah Gardner and I discuss Hustle Culture and why it pressures creatives to create daily and feel afraid or guilty for taking time away from their practice/small business.

Need a day off? Feel like you can't take one? In my first guest episode, Alana of The Glazing Sun and I chat about our experiences as full time creatives trying to balance small businesses and everyday life.

Do you sell something you create? Chances are you have or are making one of these mistakes! I am guilty of doing all of them at one point or another, no shame! It's all part of the process. Give them a listen, I hope they'll help you adjust or revamp your pricing to increase your confidence and success!

First episode baby!!! I've been mulling over the idea of a podcast for sometime now and finally decided to just do it! Welcome to a positive community for creatives and makers of all kinds to share and grow.
