In this inspiring episode of The Motivatarian Exchange, I sit down with Kelly Huskins, artist, entrepreneur, YouTube creator, and the creative force behind Whimsykel Designs, a decoupage paper brand known for bold storytelling, expressive color, and imaginative designs that help artists transform ordinary pieces into meaningful works of art. Kelly's creative journey has taken her through stained glass, faux finishing, upholstery, interior decorating, painted furniture, product development, subscription boxes, retail partnerships, and even launching her own paint brand. But what struck me most about our conversation wasn't simply what she's built. It was how she learned to heal. Together, we talk about: \u2728 Creativity as a pathway through difficult seasons \u2728 Learning to embrace your feelings instead of avoiding them \u2728 Painting, walking, creating, and processing grief \u2728 Trusting your creative instincts \u2728 Why rules aren't always necessary for innovation \u2728 Developing your unique artistic voice \u2728 Seeing beauty and possibility where others don't Kelly shares how creativity became a companion through challenging moments and how making, creating, and even crafting "ugly dolls" helped her process emotions and move forward. As the founder of Whimsykel Designs, she continues to encourage artists to trust themselves, embrace curiosity, and fully step into their creative voice. Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, maker, designer, or someone navigating a difficult season, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that creativity isn't just about what we make. Sometimes it's about how we heal. Listen now and discover the power of trusting your vision. Whether she\u2019s creating magical animals, moody florals, vintage-inspired pieces, or emotionally driven collections tied to personal stories, Kelly believes creativity is about far more than making something beautiful. Through her work, she encourages others to embrace curiosity, trust their instincts, and fully step into their own creative voice. Upcoming Events: New Design Launch coming mid-July Fun Facts: When Kelly isn\u2019t creating, there\u2019s a good chance she\u2019s disappearing down a tech rabbit hole looking for new ways to bring ideas to life.
