The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast: From Passion to Profit

Claudia Orengo’s attempt to complete 19 greeting cards in two days became a wider conversation about creative decision-making, passive income and confidence. Learn how small, finished experiments can help you find new possibilities for your art.

Greeting cards offer artists a small, purposeful place to begin thinking commercially. Delores shares how one card can lead to a catalogue, collection, marketplace or licensing opportunity.

Delores reflects on her heartfelt conversation with illustrator Stacie Dale about art licensing, patience and the power of a unique creative voice. Learn why emailing art directors matters more than social posting and how to stay true to your style.

If you’re feeling pulled in a hundred directions, you’re not alone.

What happens when your art is admired but not purchased? Delores shares her reflections on Kaylie’s latest episode about the trust recession, decision fatigue and shifting from process‑focused posts to stories that speak to your buyers’ hearts.

Etsy’s sales slump[1] reminded Delores that platforms are rented shelf space. In this reflective post, she shares how she built her own ecosystem—membership, micro‑offers, and passion projects—and offers gentle guidance for choosing where to invest your energy.
