My guest today is Jana Oliveira, and she\u2019s a mixed media artist that helps women build artistic skills and find healing and joy through art making. She\u2019s been creating, in one form or another, since 2007, and these days, she spends most of her creative time painting - she produces work in acrylics, watercolors, oils and also mixed media. We\u2019re having a relaxing and interesting chat - I hope you join us, and that you walk away from this episode feeling super inspired! A few HIGHLIGHTS from this episode\u2026 Why so many people make the mistake of thinking they\u2019re not creative at all, and... some suggestions around how to overcome that. What it means to have a healthy \u2018beginners\u2019 mindset. How the very act of creating something can be so incredibly healing. How working with different colors affects our mental state. How to make sure that your creative projects remain joyful, and don\u2019t become frustrating or a burden. Some easy and inexpensive ways that you can get started with your next creative endeavor. ~   VIDEO VERSION of this episode https:\/\/youtu.be\/pSKVWBH-Zng   SHOW NOTES with LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED: www.thrivesisterthrive.com\/16   CONNECT WITH STACEE: @thrivesisterthrive     ","author_name":"Thrive Sister Thrive!
