You Want to Paint...
So Why Aren't You?
A live session for artists who deeply want to paint, but somehow keep avoiding the very thing they love.
You Want to Paint
You Mean to Paint.
You’re certainly Thinking a lot about painting...
…and yet, when the time comes to actually walk into the studio, suddenly
- the laundry looks urgent,
- the email needs checking,
- tidying up feels weirdly important,
- and apparently this is the perfect moment to bake muffins.
Sound familiar? 🙋🏻♀️
In this live session, we’ll dig into why it can feel soooooo hard to do the very thing you love — and, more importantly, what actually helps. I’ll share practical, encouraging ways to reduce resistance, lower the pressure, and make it easier to show up for your art with more consistency, ease, and dare I say, excitement.
A Live Session with practical ways to reduce resistance and make it easier to show up.
