The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast: From Passion to Profit

In this co-hosted holiday wrap-up, Delores and Kaylie share their 2025 lessons, missteps, and moments of joy. Tune in for honest talk about art, teaching, tech pivots, and seasonal shifts.

 Delores shares her first impressions of Affinity Designer 3, explores how the update impacts artists and teachers, and explains why this new integrated workflow is a major step forward for creative independence.
