The Role of Goals — How We Tune In, Adjust, and Stay Dedicated to Our Craft  | #artistjourney Ep. 047

In this episode, I’m opening up about the deeper, less-talked-about side of goal setting for artists.
It’s not just about writing down what you want —
it’s about learning how to stay tuned in, adjust, and realign your goals as you grow.

I reflect on my own journey — from painting every day after an inspiring workshop,
to launching toddler portrait commissions even though my partner urged me to focus on refining my skills,
to facing the deeper realization that no goal ever feels truly “final.”

If you’ve ever struggled to balance ambition, craft, and self-compassion,
this episode is a gentle, honest look at how we can stay connected to the work that truly matters.
