Lately, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to get stuck in fear, focusing on what’s going wrong or what we don’t want. It happened recently when something scary happened with my son at school, and again while planning our upcoming event. But instead of spiralling, I tried something different… a simple shift that completely changed how I felt and what I did next. In this episode, I’m sharing what th...

Ever wonder why I’m always talking about pineapples? I am a huge believer in the power we have to design our own lives.  Our thoughts, feelings and decisions shape the life we live today.  Every action we take and what we pay attention to matters. This is where the pineapple comes in. It started as a bit of fun during a workshop—but it’s become something much deeper. A symbol of joy, focus, commun...

In this episode, I’m sharing three clear paths artists are using right now to build wealth doing what they love, plus...

Have you ever wondered if it’s actually possible to make a living from your art—without having to be connected, represented, or selling in galleries? Years ago, I had this wild dream. I wanted to make art on my own terms, work from anywhere in the world, be around creatives, and somehow still make a living. At the time, it felt completely absurd. But then I discovered this whole world I didn’t eve...

What if you could earn money every single month from your creativity—without burning out or compromising what you love?

In this episode, I’m sharing the two biggest shifts tha...

Last week, I found myself scrolling through social media—something I don’t do often—and within minutes, I was bombarded with conflicting opinions. One post told me I should be making art every day. Another said galleries were a waste of time. Someone else had a completely different take on pricing. It was a flood of “you should do this” and “you must do that.” And suddenly, I started questioning e...

Last week, I fell on a steep mountain of snow and got stuck.   I was skiing and took a tumble that then led me to realise that in life, when we are faced with a challenge we can often choose actions that feel right but we are doing them because we are in a state of desperation of panic.   Especially true when it comes to making money and selling art.  We can find ourselves trying all sorts of thin...

I then start to feel anxious about the lack of funds and lack of time.  It can send me into a panic, and when I feel this happening, I like to turn it around quickly. Otherwise, I end up in the maze.  You know the maze? When...
