Today’s episode is a little different from my usual conversationsabout art, business and murals.

In this episode, I’m sharing a very personal story about my recent experience with perimenopause and being diagnosed with ADHD and ASD as an adult woman.

Over the past few years I’ve been navigating changes in my energy, focus, nervous system and mental health, while still running a creative business and raising a family. Through this process I’ve been learning more about how hormonal changes, neurodivergence and burnout can intersect for many women in midlife.

In this episode I talk about:

• My personal experience leading up to diagnosis
• Why so many women are diagnosed later in life
• Some confronting statistics around women’s mental health in midlife
• The tools and habits that have helped stabilise my nervous system
• Ways to educate and advocate for yourself if you’re experiencing similar challenges

If any part of this conversation resonates with you, pleaseremember you’re not alone, and support is available.

Pricing is one of the most common and most emotional struggles in building a sustainable art business. In this episode, I walk you through a practical pricing framework you can actually use. We cover income goals, calculating real costs, paying yourself properly, adding profit, and setting boundaries around commissions, prints and workshops.

If you have ever wondered whether you are charging too much or not enough, this episode will help you stop guessing and start pricing with clarity and confidence.

You love creating art… but how do you turn that passion into aprofitable, sustainable business?

In this episode, I’m sharing the key foundations that help artistsmove from “making work” to building a real creative business that supports them financially and personally.

We cover:

• The mindset shift that helps you start treating your art like a business
• Why a professional online presence matters more than ever
• How to get clear on what you actually sell (and how people can buy it)
• Pricing your work for profit, not just for sales
• The business skills every artist can learn (even if numbers and marketing feel overwhelming)

If you’ve been dreaming of leaving your day job, selling your work more consistently, or simply feeling more confident in the business side of being an artist, this episode is for you.

And stay listening until the very end — I have a special surpriseannouncement about my Group Coaching Program, including a free month of support launching this March.
