#205- Managing Expectations (& adjusting when things don't go as planned)

Sometimes, you have to drive back and forth from Wyoming for three straight days because of weather, pushing all your to-dos back.  Let's talk about addressing client needs, staying flexible, and managing our own expectations despite the curve balls that get thrown our way.  Plus, cats are mentioned at least twice and we have a super sweet pun run. Enjoy! Join the conversation! AKITApodcast@gmail.com, @kdzintars_art, @marisadzintars @aKickintheArts

#2-5 Origin Story

So how does anyone get into their art anyway? What sort of education is ideal for artists? How do you decide when to go freelance? Kelsey and Marisa start from the beginning with their journeys, from childhood through the start of their professional work life.   Plus as always, a T&P segment for their take on "New Year, New You!" propaganda (spoiler: it's for the birds), and a seasonal pun run.  Follow us! @marisadzintars, @kdzintars_art, @AKickintheArts *Note from Marisa- In this episode, I reference my awe of my mother juggling three kids in all of our extracurricular activities. I'm referring to the three older sisters as we were closer in age and overlapping activities; I didn't mean to omit that she also had Alexa, 6 years my junior, in tow as well. Busy lady! I just felt the need to clarify that there are indeed four kids. :)

#2-4 Success!

Sometimes, we actually feel successful! And it can actually be awkward to talk about. So let's talk about that. Does your work life achievements or failures affect your self worth? Let's talk about that too. Plus, Kelsey is painting her face off, Marisa makes strides in stand up, and as always, a Fair-ly cringy pun run.

#2-3 Resistance during the Holidays

The holiday season can be a huge distraction from our goals, so let's make a game plan to balance spirited indulgence and creative flow. Plus, Kelsey updates us on her marketing plan, and Jane Fonda throws shade at Marisa. And as always, a pun run that has you saying, "Birch, please."
