067: Finding Peace Within Crafting With Alicia Harrison

Episode 67

mardi 18 août 2020Duration 41:46

There’s so much greatness that can come from honing in on the things that bring you joy. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alicia Harrison, founder of Crafts of a Different Shade. We touched on so many important topics in this episode around giving yourself grace, finding peace and taking time to rest. Alicia shared how she got started in crafting and how creativity has helped her to cultivate greater confidence. We talked about mom guilt, balancing creative dreams while working a day job and why you need to set boundaries in all areas of your life. (This episode was pre-recorded on July 29, 2020)

What’s in this episode:

  • How Alicia got into the creative space
  • Her first experience with her Cricut
  • What she finds joy in within crafting
  • How she got started with Pass the Brush
  • Why the act of sharing is valuable
  • How creativity has helped to foster confidence within herself
  • What she does to motivate herself and push through burnout
  • How she’s learned to set boundaries
  • Her experience with mom guilt 
  • Alicia’s advice around giving yourself grace and not being so hard on yourself
  • Why you need to give yourself rest when needed
  • How Alicia has learned what she’s passionate about

About Alicia:
An advocate for inclusion in all areas, crafting is where Alicia's efforts take root. She describes herself as not your normal crafter! You won't hear stories about her growing up with a paintbrush in her hand, most likely it was a book or microphone. However, she has always thought and seen things from a creative perspective.

 

A Government Contracts Manager by day but a creative 24x7 she founded Crafts of a Different Shade in 2016 from a whisper and over the years has grown to love crafting and develop the much-needed patience that comes along with creating and leading. Outside of creating, she loves offering a practical, supportive, encouraging way to learn crafts, party favors, and anything else creative that her community needs. Away from my craft table, you’ll catch her being a mom to her very active, tall smart, handsome 14 year old son, engaging on FB or IG, shopping, posting hilarious and inspiring things to her IG stories, or spending time laughing with friends and family.

066: Realistic Expectations With Tracy Verdugo

Episode 66

mardi 11 août 2020Duration 49:28

Do you hold yourself to a high standard that isn’t always attainable? A lot of creatives find themselves doing this and it can set us up to be really hard on ourselves when we don’t meet those expectations. In this episode, I was joined by painter and author Tracy Verdugo. We talked about setting realistic expectations for ourselves and our creative projects. She shares so much wisdom in this episode about seeing the world through the eyes of a child, how to get more involved in the creative community during the pandemic and advice on taking the leap into the creative venture you’ve been dreaming about! (This episode was pre-recorded on July 6, 2020)

What’s in this episode:

  • How Tracy crafts a life she loves
  • What it was like having Elizabeth Gilbert take her workshop
  • How she’s navigating the art classes during the pandemic
  • How art gives you both an escape and a way to be mindfully present
  • Her advice for making the leap into your creative endeavor
  • Tracy’s thoughts on seeing the world through the eyes of a child
  • Why you should learn to be less hard on yourself
  • Things she constantly reminds herself and students of 
  • Pivots and turning points she’s made throughout her life
  • How to feel more involved in the creative community virtually
  • Her advice on having a lifelong lasting marriage

About Tracy:
If Tracy Verdugo was given the opportunity to coin a term for a new art movement based around what she teaches she might call it “Curiosity and Wonderism” or maybe “Loosen-upism” or “Endless possibilitism”.

When she is not hanging out with her family in their artsy adobe home in a small village on the shores of Jervis Bay, Australia, or throwing paint around in her little purple studio in their backyard, you may find her painting beside thermal pools on an Italian island with an eager group of students, Aperol Spritz in one hand, paintbrush in the other, or sitting in a circle on St Pete Beach, Florida, listening intently as women share their stories of creative longing.

Tracy is an inspiration instigator, prolific painter, bestselling author and lover of the written word, smitten traveler and soaker up of all that is beauty-full. She teaches her Paint Mojo and other creative workshops all over this amazing planet and reminds her students of the wonder that already resides within them. Her works are vibrant and filled with joy, inspired both by global travels and the simple beauty of the focused moment.

Since 2000 Tracy has held 18 successful solo exhibitions and her works are held in collections both in Australia and internationally. Mostly though, she is mama bear to two gorgeous, zest-filled daughters, Santana and Cece, and co-adventurer in life with her amor of 34 years, the talented and brilliant Marco.
