5 artists who also podcast come together for our very first “pod-sisters” panel! this episode is all about tips to avoid burnout as artists. you’ll hear a brief intro to each artist, as well as what we’ve been working on in our studios (and even outside our studios!)  jules talks about the importance of having personal projects and examples of some that she’s pursued. rachel reminds us how vital it is to connect with other artists outside our studio and support one another in a way only fellow artists can. stephanie shares about her latest sabbatical and the benefits a regular sabbatical can bring to your art practice and personal well being. jessica just returned from a month in france & shares how to take a break from the admin side of your art biz and return to your studio refreshed, invigorated, and ready to tackle all your new ideas. katrina invites us to empower the word “NO” – how using it intentionally gives us the time & space to create in our studio, and embrace the “YESes” we really want to have in our professional and personal lives. in the links below, find an article by stephanie with 3 more ways to overcome creative burnout. (you’ll also find recent episodes of each of the podcasts embedded in my shownotes at katrinaberg.com), enjoy!!!

this week’s artist tip is all about the benefits of attending art shows, fairs & events for artists. we can learn a lot just from attending – it will help us better prepare for our own events and may even alleviate anxiety that we could be having preparing for the unknown. you’ll find the 6 minute video documentary on our heavenly mother, and i’ll share a quick studio update as well. the big topic that i merely touch on though is one i have been avoiding even though my heart has been telling me to share things that i’ve been studying and experiencing. the big question i have is whether or not the important topics of women’s health and choice are a possible false flag. what could be happening that they don’t want us to know about? how are they distracting us from seeing the truth?
