Episode 144: Creative Business Without Hustle: Art, Community, and Being Enough with Jayne Emerson

Jane shares how she moved from quietly selling tex…
Episode 143: {WIP} Building a Course Business with a Conscience, Using Storytelling in Your Content and Why We NEED Art More Than Ever
Hello, friends, I'm so glad to be back with you after a short break! Sometimes, giving yourself permission to step back and enjoy life is exactly what you need to fully show up when you return. I just spent some much needed time in the mountains with my family, reconnecting with nature, art, and a sense of joy that only wide open skies can offer.

Episode 142: What it Really Takes to Be a Good Art Teacher as a Course Creator with Susan Yeates

Episode 141: Work in Progress: How I’m Balancing Creativity and Business and the Pricing Questions Every Course Creator Needs to Ask
Last week, I kicked off this new “work in progress” series, and I’ve honestly loved being able to connect directly every Friday. This week was incredible, truly life-affirming for me. I got out of town and took a workshop with Colleen Atara in Pennsylvania. I’ve been a teacher for so long and not a student, so being immersed in creativity and surrounded by genuine, inspiring women was just what I needed. I learned new techniques like cyanotype and creative image transfers, but more than that…
