Ep 49 | Shaping Your Artistic Future: Practical Goal-Setting for Artists

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart: setting and achieving meaningful goals as an artist. Goals give us direction and purpose, but they can also feel overwhelming or elusive at times. How do we find clarity in what we want to achieve?

We’ll be breaking it down step by step, covering spiritual goals, emotional resilience, building relationships, career growth, and more. Whether you’re looking to deepen your connection with your art, overcome creative blocks, or take your career to the next level, this episode has something for you.
