Rukmini Poddar is an artist and the author of Draw Your Feelings: A Creative Journal to Help Connect with Your Emotions through Art (and a HUGE evangelist for doing #The100DayProject!).

Rukmini has participated for over nine (!) consecutive years. She’s a real testament to the power of a daily practice – in this episode, she shares how the simple challenge of creating something every day for 100 days reshaped her career and creative identity.

Rukmini’s words of wisdom about doing #The100DayProject:


  • Little commitments can lead to big transformations: something as simple as a small daily action can have hugely transformative effects on you as an artist and human.


  • The biggest gift is trust: showing up for yourself day-after-day builds trust and confidence.


  • There’s magic in sharing: the act of sharing can become as transformative as your creative practice itself.


  • Follow your curiosity: you can’t predict where it will lead you – and that’s the point! Allow yourself to explore new areas of interest and creative practices and unexpected things will happen.


  • Vulnerability resonates: being open and sharing encourages other people to do the same.
