Episode 159: Turning Grief Into Gold: One-on-One Coaching with Erika Person

What if the parts of your story you've been hiding are exactly what makes your work impossible to ignore? In this coaching call episode, Jodie sits down with artist, Erika Person, a former opera singer, breast cancer survivor, and member of the Honest Art® Society, to talk about grief, the Japanese art of kintsugi, and what it actually takes to stand out as a working artist. They cover finding your why, why story sells the work, treating your art like a real business, and the three simple analytics that actually move the needle. No math required.
