Thank you Matt Miller at the “You’re Still Doing That?” Podcast for the fun conversation, reflecting back on my childhood creative interest and how it has transformed my relationship to the world today as an adult. This episode is now live and available on all major podcast streaming platforms!
Conversations with people who FOUND – or re-found – their CREATIVITY as adults. We explore my guests' childhood experiences of the arts, discuss how they came to the artistic practices they now love and that benefit their whole lives, and consider the barriers to creativity that they experienced between the two. My guests are proponents of visual, written and performing arts, with similarities and wild differences in their experiences. We discuss what it is that people value and gain from their new-found artistic experiences, and how their creative lives enrich their practical, necessary, everyday lives.
Recently I had a wonderful conversation on The Curious Creatrix podcast! In this conversation we talk about the journey as an entrepreneurial artist as well as the beauty and importance of community for artists.
This week on Reimagine Success, Melissa and Jesse speak to Jackie Sanders, Visual Artist and Creative Business Mentor, about balancing business with creativity, starting your day with your passion to fuel the rest of your day, and being mindful in your health through exercise, breathing, and meditation..
On this episode, we welcome Jackie to share her story and answer 12 Questions in 30 Minutes.
Sometimes it's inevitable to hit burnout in your craft. That's what happened to Jackie right after graduating college. But as she settled into her day job, she realized she needed to make time for her art once again. Now she's working from an incredible studio space in Raleigh (ArtSpace), co-creating the Level Up Artists podcast, and launched her own business coaching business for creatives.
In this interview with The Work Seminar Podcast, Jesse and I talk about my career pivot after my a fine arts education (BA, BFA, MA from Virginia Tech) to become a digital marketing professional and creative entrepreneur. We talk about life's unexpected turns, what I have learned along the way, thoughts and advice for finding enjoyable work, and the role work currently plays in my life.
Structure, systems, and consistency of a routine are at the core of my creative process. In this episode of the Happily Ever Habits Podcast Jason and I talk about the routines that have fast-tracked my creative career, how utilizing routine can fuel your creative inspiration, and the power of embracing consistency over perfection when building your art business.
In this episode of the Venus Cloud podcast, Carolina and I talk about merging my identity as both an athlete and artist, using movement as a source of mental clarity, and the power of community over competition in contrast to athletic sports.
What does it mean to be a creative, how do you tap into that creativity, and what does it take to “make it” as a creative entrepreneur? In this week’s episode I talk to the host, Allie Coutts about my creative process, the origins of my current series, and advice that I would give to emerging creative entrepreneurs.
In November 2021 I was delighted to be interviewed by Ryan McGuire for the Pursuit of Happiness Podcast. As a fan of the show, sharing my story with a fellow local entrepreneur and graphic designer was so much fun! Thank you Ryan for the wonderful conversation and inspiring others to pursue their own happiness!
Thank You Brian Ondrako for my first podcasting experience on the other side of the table, being interviewed! The Just Get Started Podcast is all about the "getting started" moments that people have taken to overcome their fear, anxiety, and self-limiting beliefs to get on the road to a more fulfilling life and the lessons, stories, and insights shared in each episode are little morsels that you might be able to use to help you get started or move along on your own journey in life
