S1E13: When You Can’t Create: How I’m Repurposing My Art During a Health Setback

Episode 13

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 • Duration 16:13

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal update on my health and how it’s been affecting my art business. Recently, I’ve been dealing with chronic pain and reduced mobility, which has really forced me to slow down and rethink how I operate.

I talk about the practical steps I'm to keep things going while I navigate this new reality — like focusing on repurposing existing artwork instead of pressuring myself to create something new, and giving older pieces new life in different formats.

I hope this episode feels supportive for anyone else going through something similar.
