Welcome to this week’s episode of Empowering the Artist Within with Liz Ross. I am so excited to bring you this extra special bonus episode this month. Today I’m joined by the incredible Louise Fletcher; Artist, mentor, and creator of the transformative courses Find Your Joy and Find Your Voice. In this honest conversation Louise shares her journey from overcoming her limiting beliefs to mentoring hundreds of artists worldwide, and how her work helps creatives break free from perfectionism to rediscover their authentic voice.

We dive into the heart of her teaching: trusting your intuition, embracing mistakes, and showing up for your art consistently. We also explore the power of community through her Art Tribe membership, and how art can be a mirror for life - teaching patience, self-acceptance, and presence.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

• Rediscover Your Voice: Louise’s courses gently guide you out of perfectionism and back into your own creative flow, helping you trust and celebrate your unique artistic voice.


• Trust Your Intuition: How to move from copying to expressing yourself freely. Let your instincts lead the way and watch your art come alive with authenticity.


• Embrace Imperfection: The “mistakes” are often where the magic happens. Allow yourself to be messy, playful, and real, and your work will naturally become more expressive and personal.


• The Power of Community: Being part of Art Tribe reminds you that you’re not alone. Support, encouragement, and shared growth spark confidence and inspire experimentation in ways you can’t achieve on your own.


• Show Up Consistently: Waiting for the perfect moment or a burst of inspiration can hold you back. Showing up, even when it feels hard, builds momentum, trust, and a stronger connection to your creative self.


• Safe Sharing: Putting your work out into the world can feel vulnerable but it’s in that openness where connection, feedback, and real growth happen.

💡 Try This: Paint or draw for 20 minutes without judgment. Focus on process, not perfection. Notice what happens when you release expectations.
