- Katelynn Noel Knick is an abstract artist who has built a beautiful brand and life with her art. Today we talk about working in collections and why that helps you as the artist stay motivated and intentional with the work, but it also really helps people get behind what you're making and feel excited to buy it.
If you're an artist working on putting yourself out there and building a life doing what you love, you're going to be so inspired by Katelynn's story!

Kate wasn't really sure how it would all work, but she really wanted to become the type of person that could create her digital drawings without the mental friction, and feel a solid path for it leading eventually to a cohesive body of work. Through her journey inside 100 Epic Days of creating parameters to work within, and following the intuitive nudges for what she liked in her work as she continuously showed up, Kate was able to develop a style with her digital illustration that she felt really good about, and get excited about the future for where this work could take her!

Despite a demanding day job, new baby, and moving house, Rosanna Collars followed her intuition and joined 100 Epic Days so that she could write a children's book based on her pregnancy journey.
While it is absolutely incredible that she did just that, and finished the book - what's even more inspiring is that she leveraged the tools she learned in the experience to launch a new venture as a Transformation Coach and Mindset Thought Leader! Rosanna is CEO and Founder of the Wayshow Collective, a mindset-forward company created to empower others to embody the life of their dreams and expand what is possible.
This episode is going to light a fire within you to DO THE THING! I love how Rosanna shares how she re-shaped what was possible, and what it looked like to show up for her creative goals. So many nuggets of wisdom in this one!

This will be super expansive for anyone who finds themselves piling on the pressure with their Art, and stalling out because of it. Design Director for Deloitte Digital, Sean Brennan, has a very demanding day job, and yet he does not let that stop him from making his own personal art on the side. The thing that is most beautiful about this conversation is Sean's outlook on his personal work - his complete detachment from the outcome is something so many of us aspire to have. Get ready to be inspired!

Helen has navigated some serious life stuff in this past decade- everything from becoming a new mom, advancing in her day job to divorce. In this episode she shares her miraculous comeback story of how she returned to making music and performing live after 10 years away.
We also chat about the humble beginnings in forming her first band, Vagiant which later became Tijuana Sweetheart (which I was in as a very naive bass player đ) back when we both worked at a video game company (Harmonix which is now Epic Games). There's some illuminating words of advice that EVERY artist needs to hear in this episode as well in that you are allowed to take your gap in skill level and leverage it as a point of power. This one is jam-packed with inspiration and timeless works of wisdom!

If you don't have time to create personal art... what you've taken on is TOO BIG! Take it down a notch and lower the stakes. Your ego will push back with "this isn't good enough," but I want you to ignore that.
In this episode, I explain how to overcome limitations on time, energy, and overwhelm with the personal art, writing, music and making that you want to do. This mindset shift is waiting for you, and on the other side is pure magic!

Lynda had just had 2 people quit at her day job, and she was working hard to do the work of 3 people! On the outside, it may have seemed illogical to enroll in a program like 100 Epic Days at this time, but Lynda had the intuitive pull that she needed to do something that brought her joy and positivity outside of work during this challenging time - and she listened!
In 100 days, Lynda got in the groove with a beautiful daily painting practice that stabilized her mental health and eclipsed out bad habits that she did not want in her life. She gained momentum with her painting, and built the self-trust within.
This episode has so many nuggets of wisdom and insight into the creative path!

Proof that time, day jobs, health challenges...etc...are not the problem preventing us from returning to our creative goals. WE are the problem. Our unwillingness to compromise on what our Art will be given our limitations is the real problem.
If only someone had explained this to me in this way, I would not have had to slug through YEARS of depression, resentment, and confusion around my personal art practice. It all could have been so simple. In this episode, I lay it all out for you.

Sometimes it's hard to know when it's time to share the personal Art that you've been making for yourself. In this episode, I walk you through reasons not to share your work, and arguments to absolutely share with the world.

What does an established Artist's career look like? It's not always a straight linear shot to the work you see them doing now. Abby Williams is a Painter creating beautiful work with a growing following and business, but it didn't start there. In this episode, we learn how Abby followed her internal compass to walk in a direction with full trust that she will never "arrive" but always be moving.
We also hear about her experience inside my new program, Awaken, Channel & Create, where she shares what it was like to go outside of her comfort zone, enjoy a community of like-minded creatives, and return to play and exploration with her work.
Trust thyself folks. Everything is working out for you.

We're all guilty of grasping onto the outcome a little too tight as we chip away at our creative goals. It can be so difficult to let go, release expectations and just relax into the preset moment. This is why I love magic so much!

While yes, burn out is part of the story...this topic goes deeper. Our capacity to hold what we desire with our creative pursuits can expand and contract based on where we are at in skill level, life circumstances, and conditioning.
To expand our capacity in what we are able to create is a process that when looked at through the lens of energetics will put your path in perspective in a whole new way!

Creatives often suffer from the crushing pressure of which direction to take, whether their Art is "good," wondering if people will like, building the courage to share it - the list goes on. Sarah Hunter, a clinical Hypnotherapist, shares how she helps people quiet the noise in their minds so that their true self-expression can come through. This episode will make you rethink how you view your Art, yourself, and the world around you!

Shu went from putting off her dream to create her children's books for 20 YEARS, to publishing TWO BOOKS with a third on the way in a very short amount of time. If you've been stalling out on your creative goals, this episode will remind you that is it all possible. There's also an incredible important story in here about a young girl that will serve as a wake up call to the self-doubt and worry that you really don't need to entertain. This one will put a fire under you, and get you running to your personal work!

I refuse to be pushed around by this story that is completely made up. Building the awareness of what's actually running the show, and keeping you stalled out or dragging your feet with your personal work is the key to setting yourself free. Perfectionism runs a lot deeper than we may realize, and it's time for us artists to fight back! Listen to this episode to give yourself some wings to fly above the cruel kingdom of perfectionism that's trying to keep us small, so that you can create whatever you want and enjoy it the whole way through.

Cindy Blaser entered back into her creativity by showing up to doodle every day. Simple sketches, straight from the heart - as an act of self-care. It was a grounding, meditative practice that gave her peace of mind and self-satisfaction. As they days went on, she listened to her intuition, and started to take steps towards leveraging her drawing to inform the coaching and healing sessions she was doing. Over time, it became clear how she could marry the drawings and the live sessions with her clients into a unique offering - and that's exactly what she did!
This is such an inspiring story to hear if you know you want a to make money from your creativity, but you're not exactly sure what that looks like for you or how to start doing it.

Going from furlow during the pandemic to working from home, Krysia's routines got thrown off balance. Through starting up a daily creative drawing practice, she was able to anchor into a habit that grounded her during the day giving her a sense of peace and freedom, and reclaim her identity as an Artist. This episode is so inspiring if you've felt lost and confused on what to do, but knowing you want to regain that part of yourself that makes you feel alive and creative!

One of the BIGGEST questions I get asked is...how do I know if I'm picking the right idea to move forward with? People are terrified to "waste their time" on something that may or may not "work out" in the end. Trust me I get it - this was me not too long ago. In this excerpt from my recent Clarity Workshop I solve this dilemma for you, and so much more!

Cherry's initial intention was to draw about her health journey in 100 Epic Days...and she did - however, went came out of this act was not what she expected. The drawings took an interesting turn as she showed up day after day, and a deep level of healing, compassion, listening, and self-care came. By the end, Cherry was able to view herself through a completely different lens. This story is so inspiring for those on a health journey of their own, and wondering how art could possibly play into the equation.

What happens when you make a conscious intention to follow your intuition for a sustained amount of time with out judgment? A reconnection with self and creativity, that can only be compared to the powerful feeling of falling in love!

With a stressful day job as a nurse during the day, and caring for her Father, Theresa was wanting to carve time out of her day to do something for herself. In just 20 minutes a day, she was able to stack the evidence that she really could follow through on her creative projects. She got back into the swing of things with her interior design passion and chipped away in SketchUp designing her kitchen, and a kitchen for a family member. The discoveries along the way that Theresa picked up about herself and her creative process are so inspiring!

When Cherry started her artistic journey after having kids, she did not feel confident calling herself an "Artist." She started small and easy with iPad sketches and watercolor paintings...and in less than a year, by simply showing up consistently, she gained her creative confidence. Those seemingly "frivolous" drawings led to portrait commissions and now a side business making sculptural pieces for event companies.
We cover so many important topics in this episode:
- What is enough?
- The fear of sharing our work with others
- Claiming our identity as an artist
- Fitting our work into our busy day
- ...the list goes on!

This is one of the most unique goals I've seen yet for 100 Epic Days! Amanda chose to explore the theme of visibility and self-care through doing her makeup, hair and taking photos of herself daily. This act of non-judgmental time and attention on "self" led to healing, self-discovery and a greater confidence and magnetism in life. So inspiring!!

Cindy had just taken a sabbatical from her corporate  job and was dealing with some serious burnout. As part of her healing journey, she chose to do a doodle a day. Hear how this seemingly simple act of daily drawing supported her during this transitional time and created the grounding she needed to feel uplifted and whole again. She shares how she took the pressure off and lowered the stakes with her goal too - moving from the iPad using Procreate to pen on paper, which is so valuable to hear for us creatives, as we tend to pile on the pressure sometimes to do what "we're supposed to do" with the time we allow ourselves to create. In paring back her goal, Cindy was able to stick with, see her style evolve, and slip into effortless flow state. Thank you for an amazing conversation Cindy!

Back when I was feeling stuck and helpless with my personal creative goals, I had convinced myself that I should wait on my dreams. I had anchored into the false idea that when my kids were older, I would have "more time" to create...and that I should just wait until then to start up my personal work. Welp, to prove myself right...or wrong really, I mapped out my entire life from my then age 34 until I died, which I guessed would be at 108 in the year 2090. What I found out by doing that was the wake up call I needed. Learn what I uncovered and how you can apply this to your life too!

I love how Leslie said she was able to get consistent with her goals because she lightened up about it, made her goals small...and in doing so was able to reconnect with the joy of the activity. Once she found that happy place (that so often gets lost when we burden ourselves with intimidating, gigantic goals) she was excited to show up daily - because she knew she would enjoy it every time. This is a great story to get inspired to take action on that thing you've been meaning to do!

In this solo episode, I walk you through my thought process in picking my super simple black and white style. I expose the fight I had in my head about what I wanted and what was possible given my life challenges as a new mom. I say good bye to my old creative self who could sit for long blissful hours uninterrupted and start looking at my new situation as a problem to be solved versus throwing my hands up in the air as a victim. I share how I reframed my daily art practice to shift away from the end result and celebrate the fact that I just showed up that day to become the type of person who...shows up every day...and how all of this - ironically led me to creating work I absolutely LOVE!!
DM me on Instagram @epic_bones and let me know what you think!
I love how Carin overcame her resistance to sharing her daily short stories with the world and really solidified her confidence as a writer during her 100 Epic Days! She also shares how once you get going, all of the excuses and obstacles that you had in your mind of why you couldn't do this thing, quickly dissolve. It's surprising how you learn to fit this creative act into your day and how that can uncover incredible growth not just with your personal work, but with yourself!

I love how Carla talks about not judging her creative goal of making a painting a day for 100 days. She says she returned to her 7 year old self and thought, what would bring me joy - it wasn't about fancy paints or expensive brushes, it was about the happiness of creating every day - which inevitably led her down a path of turning her paintings into cards, sharing them with the world, bringing joy to a dear friend at the end of his life and gaining insight into next steps she could take to monetize her creations. Following the joy and curiosity is the place to start, and Carla's story is such a beautiful example of the twists, turns and surprises that come to us when we do just that.

I made an affirmation deck in 3 months and it could have EASILY taken me over a year to finish! I was able to do this because I lowered the stakes. I let go of my perfectionism and said, success will be if I finish this deck...not if it's actually any good. I decided to make a product that was so-so, not perfect. It actually became a game with me - how quickly can I move on to the next card, the next step. I was able to blast through hand writing the affirmation statements, laying out the cards and formatting the box because I surrendered. I'm so glad that I did because I finished my deck AND I really like how it came out!! I didn't have to stay up late, sacrifice family time or drive myself crazy. It was easy, effortless and fun. I want this for you! How can you lower the stakes with your creativity and ironically make work that you end up loving!
Today I share my background and journey that led me to getting back into my own personal creative work after years of self-abandonment. Â Learn what I did to overcome my resistance and dip my toes into creating art again, and how that slowly morphed and snowballed into the business I run today with Epic Bones!
