https://Art2Life.com - We get to understand who people are by hearing their stories, by listening to where they've come from, what they've done, and who they are—so why don’t we share our stories more freely?
Many of us carry embarrassment or shame about our past, but our stories have the potential to foster genuine connections and dispel negative self-perceptions. Sharing your journey enables others to resonate with their own experiences and see the potential for growth and authenticity in their lives.
Limiting beliefs and outdated self-perceptions can hinder our quest for true fulfillment. Imagine your life without the constraints of practicality; imagine having the space to fully ignite the energy and joy rooted in your personal passions!
Join me for this episode all about how sharing our stories can foster a community of trust and inspiration, nurturing both personal and collective creativity.
================================
RESOURCES MENTIONED
[6:33] Sharing stories helps give you clarity in how you see yourself
[8:27] Stories build connections, and listening fosters understanding

https://Art2Life.com - Creating something tangible—like a SPARK Playbook, which serves as a visual roadmap for your artistic progress—has transformative power. Artists can take small, meaningful steps to uncover their artistic direction and the value of playful experimentation using my five-step Bloom method. This method helps you stay present in the creative process and engage deeply with your feelings to produce authentic, heartfelt art.
Authentic art requires focusing on personal feelings and staying mindful.

Engaging with the natural world can elevate creativity, and revitalize mind and spirit. The meditative qualities of art-making and nature, with its serenity and beauty, serve as a powerful muse. Nature has provided me with solace during challenging times.
In this episode, we're diving deep into the profound relationship between art-making, nature, and our emotional well-being. You’ll get practical tips on how you can integrate nature into your daily routines by enjoying the health benefits of "forest bathing," and dig into why spending time outdoors can boost our cognitive function by up to 50%!
If you give it space, nature can inform our art, help us navigate self-doubt, and foster a spontaneous, open-hearted creative process. Get ready to reconnect with nature and connect with new levels of creativity.

It will give you the time and freedom you need to create work you love that reflects your authentic self.

https://Art2Life.com - Bibby Gignilliat had stopped painting years ago because she had a critical teacher who made her feel like she was talentless. So she spent years as a computer programmer, worked in adventure travel, and even ran her own cooking business. By all measures of success, she was successful.
She continuously pushed her dream of being an artist and having her own gallery show aside. Today, Bibby and I are painting in her studio. She’s an accomplished mixed-media artist who incorporates her travels into her art.
It all started because she was willing to push aside what she’d been told about herself and started listening to herself. Bibby shares her path back to her art—and how she let her intuition lead the way—in this episode of the Art2Life Podcast.

He pays attention to his energy. If he’s not feeling it, he walks away and comes back the next day. He emphasizes that you need to build consistency. Allow yourself time and space to play around with your work and move toward what lights you up.

https://Art2Life.com - As an artist, the thought of not knowing what comes next is bothersome. But “not knowing” is often necessary. Sometimes we have to spend time pondering what’s next.
We need to give ourselves space and time to sit with the discomfort of uncertainty. We have to get comfortable with the phenomenon of doing and not knowing.
I’m painting right now. I’m doing one thing at a time, uncertain what I will do next. I’m simply being present with what I’m making.
In this episode of the Art2Life Podcast, I explore finding clarity by sitting in a place of not knowing. Join me on the journey of not knowing.

https://Art2Life.com - Rukmini Poddar is an artist, educator, and designer. Her creative passion lies at the intersection of emotional wellness and creative storytelling. She is an artist who draws feelings.
She admits that stumbled into art. It wasn’t a planned career path. When Rukmini graduated college, she was burnt out. As a graphic designer, she spent much of her time on the computer. She wanted to get her hands dirty, so she dove into the 100-Day Project. She started playing with watercolors and made abstract doodles. She started drawing her feelings to express her creativity.
She’d post them on Instagram. Before she knew it, it became the anchor for her day. By the end of the 100 days, her life was changed. People would comment and say, “I’ve always felt this way and I’ve never had words for it.” Something extremely personal to her became universal. She found a community that resonated with her work. It became her guiding light.
Drawing her feelings led to a passion for art she never knew existed. She shares more about her journey to finding herself and helping others connect with their emotions in this wonderful conversation.

https://Art2Life.com - Silvia Poloto emigrated to the United States in the 90s. It was here that she stumbled on a knack for art—and it changed the trajectory of her life.
When Silvia was finishing her Master’s Degree, she started cutting out pieces from magazines and making collages. She started working with metal. Looking to learn more, she signed up for a class called “Metal Arts,” only to realize it was a jewelry-making class.
She spent her time in class creating small sculptures with the material. Her instructor was fascinated. She shared her art with him and he was impressed, convinced she had an art degree instead of one in engineering. That’s when she realized she might have a future in art.
She taught herself metalworking, painting and photography. With every subsequent work of art, her style evolves. She allows her inner self to direct the next piece.

https://Art2Life.com - The power dynamics at play in an organization can often make it difficult—if not impossible—to form connections with coworkers and superiors. It’s easy to let prejudices and insecurity get in the way. But an environment of collaboration and trust is key to successful organizations.
The truth is that as macho or hardened as someone seems, we’re all fragile. The human experience is challenging. Compassion and empathy are exceedingly important—yet exceedingly rare.
Adam Rosendahl combines music and art in a group setting that leads to groundbreaking and transformative results: connection between strangers. Everyone has a desperate longing to feel seen and heard.
In our conversation, Adam shares how Late Nite Art combines music, art, and collaboration to bring people together and help them feel seen.

https://Art2Life.com - I was walking into my studio the other day and met a woman who happened to be walking by. She’d recently taken my free workshop—while on a sailboat. It turns out that she’s an amazing photographer, artist, creator, and adventurer.
When Covid hit, she—along with her husband and twin boys—embarked on a grand adventure: Sailing the world. They bought a catamaran and started their journey in New Zealand. Taking action and diving in wholeheartedly led to some of the best experiences of their lives.
In our candid conversation, Kristin shares what she’s learned on the journey about herself and her art, the power of being present, and her advice to those looking to embark on their own adventure.

https://Art2Life.com - Danielle LaPorte loves simplicity. The closer she gets to a heart-centered life, the more she craves it. It’s become a spiritual practice. She lets go of anything she hasn’t used for 6–12 months. She doesn’t buy mindlessly. Instead, everything in her home has a story, a reason behind buying it. Everything matters.
Simplicity requires letting go. It requires loosening your attachment to things that don’t matter. Are you able to take this approach in your art and your life? To be willing to make a different mark, make a mistake, and start over?
Go on a journey with us as we explore the art of letting go, shifting to simplicity, and of having the courage to make the first mark on a blank page.

https://Art2Life.com - Are you struggling to cast a vision for yourself, your art, or your business? Has imposter syndrome taken hold? Do you feel confident that you can make your dreams a reality?
Suzi Dafnis walked into a room with 30 other business owners about to start the art class I was offering our mastermind group, admittedly incredibly nervous. Though confident in any business environment, she felt like she shrunk into her feet when she walked into my class.
Yet she came out of the class having created something she’s proud of and found that she enjoyed the process. Today, Suzi joins me in the studio to talk about her journey in business. She firmly believes that if you have a dream that you believe in—and get a plan in place to make it happen—you can achieve it.
But just like you have to take your brush and make the first mark on a canvas, you have to take a step toward creating the business of your dreams. Join us to learn how to take that first step.
