2021/12/02

Is there really such thing as self-sabotage? Why would we ever consider keeping ourselves away from what we say we want? Doing ALL the things for many years, and still not progressing in the way I envisioned, lead me to start a deep dive on learning more about the brain from science to psychology. Oh the discoveries, wow! mind-blowing, pun intended.

Did it really start with a wedding invitation? Cozy up, get comfy, grab a little cup of eggnog (too soon?) tea? wine? Today I have story to share with you.

2021/11/11

Does that monster creep up on you too? O.V.E.R.W.H.E.L.M How do you handle it? On a coaching call, one of my business mentors shared a perspective on overwhelm that stopped me in my tracks. And this subtle shift, or rather WAKE UP CALL, around how to deal with overwhelm, has been a game changer in how I move through my days. Not that the sneakly little Overwhelm monster doesn't try to creep back into my routine, but now I know how tame him and get sh*t done efficiently, with way more peace. In

2021/11/04

Think about the last time you prioritized you and something you most love to do. Like art and creativity perhaps? especially if your business is your Art. This past weekend, instead of prioritizing catching up on administrative projects in my creative business, I decided to dedicate it to my creativity. Something clicked for me and I realized what I can no longer give up. Ask yourself if what you're focusing on is actually what you want to prioritize in your life? and if so are you following

Creative Thursday with Marisa ·

2021/09/19

Coming to you with a special Sunday edition of the podcast. In 2000, I started to ask myself the question, if I truly believed I could follow my dreams and become anything I want to be in this world, would this path I'm currently on, be the one I'd choose? It was answering that question that ultimately lead me to finally acknowledging that I always wanted to become an Artist. When I was easing my way into the belief that I could be an Artist, I found great comfort in listening to any and all stories

2021/09/09

If you care about about INTEGRITY, the value of creative work, and rights for Artists, this should make you angry. I have a documentary to recommend, along with a personal story about a collaboration that almost went very wrong. If any of what I share is a shock to you, then we as Artists haven't been truthful about our experiences. One of the reasons Artists continue to find themselves in these kind of predicaments is because we're not talking honestly, and making educated business decisions,

248 Choosing the RIGHT Online Shop Platform

2021/09/02

Are you afraid of making a “wrong” decision when it comes to building your online shop? One of the questions I get asked the most by the Artists I mentor is “what website, e-commerce platform do I choose for my online shop?” followed by “how do I know for sure, that it's the right one for me?” So often our fear of making the wrong decision keeps us from making any decision at all, which in turn keeps us in a holding pattern ~ what I refer to as paused versus progressing.

What did I hope having my own Art business would make possible for me? I was recently reminded of the power in answering 1 simple question. As I continue to explore new directions with my painting, I've been re-connected to that feeling of beginning, anticipation and enthusiasm for what's next with trepidation over all the uncertainty.
