The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast: From Passion to Profit

Day 1 of the Profitable Artist Summit reminded me why I love this work. From exploring trends with Vanessa to turning painted flowers into patterns, every talk was a gift. Here are my reflections on community, creativity and the business lessons I wish I’d known when I started.

In this reflective blog post, Delores shares the emotions behind organising the Profitable Artist Summit 2026. She highlights the generous lineup, the live workshop schedule and her invitation to artists to join with nothing more than a sketchbook and a dream.

Delores speaks with Ann Klos about creative reinvention, Etsy growth and how artistic lives evolve over time. A thoughtful reminder that creativity rarely follows a straight path, and that refinement, courage and curiosity matter at every stage.

In this episode, I share how batching and planning have helped me create a more sustainable rhythm in my creative work. It’s a simple shift that can make everything feel more manageable.

In this reflective blog post, Delores looks back on her conversation with Kristen Chamberlain of City Mouse Art. Kristen explains how she turned a lay‑off into an opportunity to build a handmade digital art business, shares the importance of community support and reveals why every piece she creates is intentionally crafted without AI. It’s a nurturing reminder that slow, steady steps can lead to beautiful results.

After my busiest year yet, I realised I’d lost my own creative quiet. In this reflection I share how I’m slowing down – protecting my energy, returning to journaling, walking more and honouring the ebb and flow of creative seasons. Join me in building a life that feels like art again.

Delores shares how planning her entire 2026—courses, challenges, rest and creative projects—has brought her a deep sense of peace. Through her own story she encourages artists to see planning as a pathway to freedom, not restriction, and offers a free goal planner to help you start your own journey.

Save time without losing your creative touch — Kaylie’s gentle automation tips for artists (email flows, batching, simple systems) help reduce burnout and make more room for the work you love.

You don’t need perfect conditions to be creative. In fact, working within constraints often shapes stronger, more focused work. Here’s how Kaylie and I navigate energy, tech, and time limitations—and how you can too.

The holiday season doesn’t have to feel chaotic. In this episode recap, I share how creatives can plan their Q4 calmly — with thoughtful product choices, gentle promotion, and meaningful gifts that customers love to give.

Launching your own online class might sound easy — until a single click removes 170+ students. In this real talk post, Delores shares the behind-the-scenes of a tech glitch, why she’s rethinking platforms, and what keeps her teaching.

 This week, Kaylie shares personal and practical insight on how to break through mindset traps like perfectionism and imposter syndrome — and begin creating again, even in the middle of life’s chaos.
