What does it really mean to suffer for art? In this first episode, we’re diving into the raw, unfiltered reality of the artistic grind—balancing auditions and side hustles, navigating the chaos of big city living, and holding on to creativity while the world seems stacked against you. Whether you’re a painter, actor, writer, or creator of any kind, the struggle to make art while making ends meet is all too familiar.
I’m Brianna Kaleen, and I’ve lived this journey firsthand. Join me as I peel back the layers of what it means to live as an artist today: the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Together, we’ll explore how the age-old idea of “suffering for the craft” impacts our mental health, finances, and relationships—and how we can build a life where being an artist doesn’t mean sacrificing everything else.
