Ep. 208 - Paint slinger, Mindset slayer (w. Jodie King)

Our wonderful guest today is straight-talking, fun-loving, rule-breaking, mess-making, sometimes cussing but always enjoyable spirit, Jodie King,

On top of being an incredibly talented and established artist, with a career spanning over 20 years, Jodie is also a professional educator, speaker, entrepreneur, podcaster and mother with her work having been featured in notable publications such as Forbes, Entrepreneur magazine and Vogue.

Jodie is a bonafide creative badass. A true avalanche of incredible energy and thoughtful wisdom when it comes to tapping into our inner creative and shamelessly letting it out. She is all too familiar with the weird feeling you get with as a day-to-day number-cruncher who has that itch to paint, sing, write, make pottery...but backs away from it thinking it's not for them. To put in her own words "It takes a special kind of courage to turn ourselves inside out and show it to the world."

Jodie's approach with helping her clients create what she calls "Honest Art" is very well aligned with her conviction that the “starving artist” idea is complete nonsense. She believes artists can grow in their creative field of choice and have their passion become a profitable, sustainable business.

I had such a fun sharing space with Jodie and getting to know more about her work and vision. This conversation did hit a really honest nerve where I am clearly reminded of the importance of staying true to your authentic self. And while she does not negate the fact that even though this does take some work on yourself, you should feel safe in realizing that it is not that complicated should you choose to accept the individual singular talent that lies within you. 

On this episode, Jodie dishes out the importance of recognizing your creative urges and fueling the, as they happen, not backing down on your authentic self, how knowing yourself is a keystone to your success and so much more.
