From leaving corporate jobs to dealing with health issues, we share how we overcame the hurdles and finally embraced our true selves. We chat about the initial struggles, like introducing ourselves as artists and facing societal stereotypes.
To help you on your journey, we offer some practical advice, like journaling and creating positive affirmations, to build your confidence. We also talk about the importance of connecting with other artists and building a supportive community.
