Letters From A Hopeful Creative

In today’s episode we dive into this letter from a listener:I am writing you from probably the lowest point I have encountered in my creative journey.This year has been hard for me. I feel a bit lost in my business and so so tired. I have been making pottery for over a decade, selling for about 6 years and working full time as an artist for 2. And the struggle just never ends. I feel like I am pushing a rock up a hill and I keep waiting for the incline to level out so I can coast a little. I keep waiting for that break: for that post or feature that brings thousands of new people to my page, for the grant to be approved, for the gallery show to happen, for my community to establish… I am just desperately needing some ease from the grind.

I am also very privileged that I am partnered with a wonderful supportive husband
