Back and ready to chat after a week away!

In this episode, I share what I’m working on in my creative practice as well as in my creative business.

I share why I don’t think creative doubt is a problem, where it's been showing up for me lately, how raising your prices impacts both community as well as your self-worth, and a practice for working with doubt as a portal to great self-acceptance, compassion and growth.

In this episode I talk about:

• My love for “walk & talks” as a tool for navigating the early stages & messy middle of creative processes
• How our inner “good girls” tend to get in the way of our creative process and the importance of meeting them with love but not letting them lead
• Why we need to un-shame and embrace the parts of ourselves that our inner “good girl” fears are “bad”
• What I’m planning to teach next in my artist mastermind
• The power of messy, imperfect action as a creative SKILL
• Dormancy/rest as an essential part of the creative process
• A question to ask yourself to see where you’re leading with your inner “good girl”

Or ya know... shitty podcasts episodes :)

In this episode (which I gleefully record from a scaling-hot, bath with rose salts in the middle of a Monday) I make a case that the fastest way to make great art is by allowing yourself the freedom to make shitty art!

“But ashley! I love only ever making very high quality things! I'm happy with how often I create and the work I produce — I could never!”

FABULOUS! If it's working for you - - keep it up. This episode probably isn’t for you.

But.

If you’re someone who wants…

• to create more often
• to feel enjoy more of what you make
• for working on your art to feel exciting and not just like a chore
• to hear less inner-critic and more of your inner-voice and artist
• to be prolific in what you make!

Then the shitty art challenge is for you! You can download a free guide to it by clicking here.
