Ep. 85 - What Do You Actually Want From Your Art Business

Ep. 90 - Why Slow Growth Is Still Growth

This week on Art Life Plan, we’re talking about why slow growth is still growth, especially when your art, shop, audience, studio practice, or creative business feels like it is taking longer than you hoped. We’ll look at how to notice progress that is easy to overlook, why sustainable growth matters, and how smaller steps can still move your practice forward.

Ep. 89 - Knowing When to Quit a Project

This week on Art Life Plan, we’re talking about knowing when to quit a project, when to keep going, and how to tell the difference between a project that’s hard and a project that’s done. We’ll look at guilt, unfinished work, creative energy, and why letting something go can sometimes be part of keeping your practice honest.

Ep. 88 - Building an Art Shop Around Your Real Life

Running an online shop is not just making products. It is also shipping, inventory, product photos, emails, marketing, packaging, website updates, and trying to figure out how all of that fits into your actual life and energy level. In this episode, I’m talking about building a shop around the way you naturally work instead of forcing yourself into a business structure that constantly burns you out. We’ll chat about launches, workflow, fulfillment, strengths, weaknesses, and how to make adjustments when your shop no longer fits the version of your life you currently have.

Ep.87 - Sketchbooks in our Creative Practice

Sketchbooks have started to feel more performative than they used to, like every page needs to look finished or shareable. This week on Art Life Plan, we’re getting back to what they’re actually for…messy thinking, unfinished ideas, testing materials, and giving yourself space to work things out without an audience.

Ep. 86 - What to Do When You Have No Ideas

No ideas? In this episode, I’m walking through what that looks like for me and how I find my way back into the work without overcomplicating it.
