Minneapolis-based painter Kasia Muzyka returns to the podcast to share the evolution of her practice and her upcoming solo exhibition in New York City, The Sacred Condition of Being. In this deeply reflective conversation, we explore the role of vulnerability in the creative process, the transformational power of painting, and how art invites us to embrace discomfort and deeper connection. Kasia opens up about the intuitive and excavational nature of her process, the culmination of two decades of inner work, and how creativity becomes a sacred act of becoming. Here’s what we discuss: * The emotional and spiritual excavation behind The Sacred Condition of Being * How vulnerability and authenticity strengthen our work and relationships * The creative process as a space for transformation and healing * Embracing discomfort and uncertainty as essential to artistic growth * The intersection of mysticism, philosophy, and the feminine in Kasia’s work About Kasia Kasia Muzyka is a Polish-American artist based in Minneapolis, MN. Her work explores mysticism, human nature, and transcendental philosophy through layered visual narratives that examine perception, the unseen, and the sacred. Her paintings often center on the feminine as a spiritual portal, inviting viewers into profound inner dialogue. Muzyka has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including Inner Explorations at Gal Art (Minneapolis) and her forthcoming NYC solo show The Sacred Condition of Being. Her work has been featured in Vanity Fair, Voyage Minnesota, Arts to Hearts, New Visionary Magazine, and more.

Victoria dives deep into the emotional layers of money mindset—and how the stories we carry about money are often formed in childhood. Through personal reflection and lived experience, she explores what it means to feel deserving of financial success and how somatic capacity (our nervous system's ability to receive and hold more) plays a powerful role in how we show up for our art careers. This episode is a vulnerable, honest look at the challenges many artists face when it comes to pricing their work, investing in education, and expanding their sense of what's possible. If you've ever felt guilt, fear, or confusion around money, this episode is an invitation to rewrite the narrative—and to remember that you’re allowed to hold more.
