She bravely shares that, though this is a part of her, it does not define her. She shares what this journey has been like for her & how she has learned more about herself from creating her art. We also talk about a ton of different concepts in this episode. Namely: -Taking care of yourself & being kind to yourself, even (& especially) when you don't have it all together! -When it's hard to talk about & share your art -Digging deeper into life & paying attention to who your real friends are -Being scared -Not liking your current or past work, but knowing you can't get to your next & better work without creating it first -Processing life & emotions and the "tortured artist" scenario -Sharing your heart through your work is so vulnerable! -Comparing yourself & creating from your true self \/\/ doing what's truest for you. -Makaila's amazing life's work of creating maps of places from her life -What happens when you take the foot off of a sewing machine  -You don't always have to sell your art. -Taking a break & then starting to create again. -Working with only what you already have. -Not stopping when things get uncomfortable: When we get stick, we're probably resisting something. ---------------- Connect with us online! https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/doingscarythings\/   https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg   Email us! doingscarythingspod@gmail.com   Instagram: @doingscarythings @thekatiesnyder @annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings   Schedule your Free Coaching Consultation with Katie!
