Podcast, Kat sits down with painter and creative mentor Felicia Forte for a deep and refreshing conversation on creative flow, intuition, burnout, and finding your true pace as an artist. Felicia shares how she moved through a major creative block, rebuilt her relationship with painting, and allowed a slower, more intuitive rhythm to guide her back to the work. She speaks openly about dropping the hustle, choosing resonance over pressure, and trusting the quiet seasons where ideas grow underground. This conversation is full of warmth, honesty, and wisdom for anyone navigating their own creative path.  In this episode, we explore   How Felicia rebuilt her painting practice after burnout   The difference between hustle driven output and intuitive flow   Using intuition, resonance, and curiosity as your compass   Why creative blocks often have internal roots   The power of slowing down and listening to yourself   Reframing mistakes as discovery   Balancing ambition with compassion for your present season   Allowing a body of work to unfold without forcing it   Supporting artists through creative coaching and technique programs    Connect with Felicia Website: https:\/\/www.feliciaforte.com Instagram: www.instagram.com\/feliciaforte  Connect with Create!
