EPISODE 183
Join us for a conversation about taking small steps towards your dreams, no matter what stage of life or your creative career you’re at. We talk about overcoming self-doubt, asking for help, building confidence through connection, and chipping away at your goals one day at a time.
We hope this episode gives you a little nudge to give your dream the attention it deserves — not in a hustle kind of way, but as a joyful challenge that’s good for the soul.
Here is a summary of what we discussed:
It’s Never Too Late for Your Art Dream
We talk about listening to those creative dreams that keep resurfacing and remembering that it’s never too late to begin, start again or take your art in a new direction.Focus on the Next Small Step
Rather than becoming overwhelmed by the end goal, we discuss breaking creative dreams into small, practical steps and simply focusing on what you can do next.Move Through Fear, Procrastination and Comparison
We explore how self-doubt, fear of rejection and comparison can keep us stuck and why the thing we’re avoiding is often the very thing we need to tackle.You Don’t Have to Be an Expert to Share Your Journey
We talk about the value of showing up authentically, sharing what you’re learning as you go and allowing people to connect with the imperfect, real stages of a creative journey.Be Resourceful and Ask for Help
We reflect on how friends, family and other creatives can help fill skill gaps, solve practical problems and become part of the experience — often creating unexpected connections along the way.Putting Your Art Out There Builds Confidence
From markets and local exhibitions to workshops and unexpected opportunities, we share how saying yes and putting your work in front of people can build confidence, community and courage far beyond your art practice.

In this episode, Richie and I ponder the question: is this even an art podcast anymore? Over the years, the topics we discuss have widened to include more about lifestyle, health, family and relationships.
