The Modern Frida

Arts EN ↓ 85 episodes

The Modern Frida is a space where I share what I’m learning in real time—through personal stories, creative lessons, and my process of building a life around art and music. I also sit down with other creatives to talk about their journeys and how they move through life as artists to be successful. So if you’re someone who’s determined to build a life you love around your passions—and maybe has a slight love-hate relationship with social media—this is the place for you!
