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 Kaylie’s latest solo episode, she explores why traditional freebies and discount pop-ups no longer connect the way they once did. Delores reflects on the importance of emotional connection, practical value, and creating a space your audience genuinely wants to be part of.

You’re not a beginner anymore, yet consistency still feels out of reach. In this reflective post, I explore the messy middle—how it feels, why it happens and why simplifying and seeking support can help you grow through it.

Overwhelm isn’t random; it’s a pattern rooted in our beliefs. Join Delores and business coach Colleen Underwood as they explore the five archetypes of overwhelm and share gentle shifts to help creatives find calm and clarity.

Lettering can be a gentle doorway into creative confidence. In this episode, Delores speaks with Nicole Mauloni about iPad calligraphy, learning slowly, and creating alongside real life.

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.

 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.

Feel like your art is all over the place? You're not alone. In this reflective solo episode, I share what it really means to find your artistic voice — and how to build a cohesive body of work that opens creative doors.

 In this reflective episode of the Creative Juggle Joy podcast, Delores and Kaylie unpack the moment creativity starts to feel like business—and how to move forward mindfully, with joy.

Repurposing your creative work is smart, sustainable, and gentle. Here’s how to do it without overwhelm — and why your art deserves a second life.

From art fairs and handmade cards to licensing and digital downloads, we’ve lived the handmade journey inside and out. In this episode, Kaylie and I talk openly about the myths that still surround handmade businesses and how those early lessons shaped where we are today. We hope this brings encouragement to makers who are still in the trenches or thinking about what's next.
