Battling Burnout

Stop Setting Yourself Up For Failure

This week we are talking about the bad habits I have that set me up for failure in my daily or weekly life. I also talk about ways that I know I can combat those bad habits to make positive changes. Maybe these are some habits you notice in yourself as well! So sit back, relax, draw, stare off into space, and enjoy this little ep! ------------------- This Week's Artist Introduction: Sophie McPike  Find Sophie on instagram at @sophiemcpike On Patreon https://www.patreon.com/sophiemcpike [https://www.patreon.com/sophiemcpike] Her shop https://www.sophiemcpike.com/shop [https://www.sophiemcpike.com/shop] Youtube as Sophie McPike ------------------- find me on instagram @artbymadi_m

Give people space to find their passions

Todays episode is technically part one of 2, sort of. It’s not really but these two weeks of episodes go pretty well together. Today we are talking about giving people room to find their passions, especially kids/young adults. Since the pandemic I noticed some “lack” of passion in my younger siblings and in a lot of people in general. I also go over the moment that made me want to record this episode specifically. So grab your water, or coffee, and enjoy! Artist Shoutout of the week: - Alex Singer @alexander.illustrates on Instagram :)

Fiverr Sucks :/

Fiverr sucks, and in today's episode Madi going to tell you why.

Battling Burnout

This week's episode is a quick one, but an important topic nonetheless! Raise your hand if you've ever experienced burnout.... we can't see your hands but we are assuming most of them are raised. Burnout is something that can happen in all lines of work, but especially creatively. So come and take a few minutes to listen to Madi vent about her issues with burnout, and some ways she has fought it off.

FAN ART, what?

Madi talks about fan art in today’s episode! On occasion, people will turn their noses up to fan art, but there are a LOT of positives to drawing fan art, and that’s what we are going through today! If you aren’t already drawing fan art, start doing it now! Artist Shoutout: @thetorresartist on Instagram
