    Helpful Reminders
    I just listened to the episode about donating artwork. I was on the verge of donating to a local fundraiser to a nonprofit I’ve never heard of. The ‘vibration’ part of the discussion….right on target

    This podcast is THE best! Jodie is engaging and funny and doesn’t waste time on drivel. She provides actual useful information in a fun way and doesn’t make you listen to a bunch of boring chitchat to get to the best bits. Interviewed guests are interesting and she’s a talented interviewer as well. I’m delighted to have found this podcast filled with helpful tips and tricks in a supportive, encouraging voice. Very inspiring! Love, love, love!

    Voice of Experience!
    I found Jodie on Instagram in 2020 during lockdown. I was trying to figure out how to adapt my abstract sensibilities to surface decoration on my ceramics (I wasn’t a painter!) and probably did an IG search for “abstract painting” and she popped up. Instant fan!! When the podcast started, I immediately subscribed and have found such great inspiration and practical information on so many things related to being an artist. One of the best things is that she doesn’t talk like a podcast clone, with meaningless phrases that the host learned in the “Success Podcast Host” factory. She speaks plainly and really, is just so much fun because her passion is real and contagious! Absolutely worth following!!!

    Ads too loud compared to show
    I had to crank the volume way up to hear the podcast content then had my eardrums blasted by the ads at the end. Ouch! Please adjust your levels!

    **Title: A Must-Listen for Aspiring Artists** If you're ready to embrace your artistic potential, Jodie's podcast is an essential resource. For me, it has been transformative. She masterfully connects all the reasons I've felt compelled to create art, offering a relatable and inspiring narrative drawn from her own experiences. By tuning in, I've found invaluable guidance to liberate myself from the negative thoughts that hinder my creativity. Jodie doesn't just share anecdotes; she provides well-researched facts about the numerous benefits of creating art. Importantly, she emphasizes approaching art without the pressure of producing something significant, allowing me to enjoy the process itself. This podcast is a must for any aspiring artist looking to overcome self-doubt and fully embrace their creative journey.

    I love Jodie’s down-to-earth energy. This podcast is a must-listen for artists and creatives seeking guidance on their artist odyssey and navigating the business side of a creative practice!
  • Parks N Rec fan
    Inspiring and motivating
    I was initially hooked by Jodie’s down to earth attitude about her art and being an artist. Her art is beautiful and truly inspiring! I found I can relate to her story, I’ve never felt like an artist, compared to others and a lack of ‘professional training’ - not to mention fear of rejection and just not being good enough. She is going to break that off of you!! I loved listening to her, watched YouTube videos and purchased a couple of courses. Well worth it if you are serious about your work!! Looking forward to hearing more!!
  • julietjarmosco
