    This episode features Artist's Oath's written and read by Kelsey Bogan, David James, and Karen Rege.

    The culmination of Merideth's book, "The Artist's Joy," the Artist's Oath is a powerful coaching exercise that helps artists name how they want to show up in the world and what they believe. When we stay connected to our values, we are able to move through creative challenges and tough decisions with confidence and grace for ourselves and others.

    In today's episode, Merideth chats with artist, composer, and songwriter Angela Sheik.
