I talk a lot about being a rebel and freedom and empowerment. Those are all part of my WHY. But there’s a not-so-bright side to those that really held me back in my early years as an artist.    Because I don’t want you to have to experience the same feeling of loneliness I did, I’m sharing why, if I could go back in time, I’d get a mentor or find an art community much earlier.   In this episode, we’re going to get into it, and talk about:   Breaking through years of negative self-talk (specifically, as an artist) How loneliness can impact our art How to find a community/mentor for you   And by the way — if mentorship and community are something you’re seeking, you should check out Studio Elite. This is my 6-month mentorship program, where you’ll get access to 1:1 coaching from me, plus a group of other artists to cheer you on, help you improve as an artist, and remind you that you aren’t alone.    Learn more about Studio Elite here: https://www.jodiekingart.com/studioelite    Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss a thing!
