  • 092 What It’s Really Like to Host an Art Retreat: Recap from Vietnam
    2025/05/20

    Ever dreamed of attending—or running—your own art retreat?

    In this episode, Ros interviews Laura as she pulls back the curtain on what it truly takes to bring a creative retreat to life. What began as a long-held dream was reignited during a deeply restorative trip to Hoi An, and the inspiration never left. There was something about the town’s magic, the peaceful energy of the villa, the beautiful people, coupled with Laura’s deep desire to create space for transformation through art that just kept calling her back. Laura shares how that vision unfolded into her first international retreat and what made the experience so powerful.

    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • What inspired the retreat (and how it came together)
    • The biggest fears attendees faced—and how saying YES changed everything
    • Real feedback from participants: “Nourishing, joyful, empowering”
    • Why creative retreats are more than a getaway—they’re a reset for your soul and your art

    Whether you're craving connection, dreaming of leading your own retreat, or just curious about the process, this episode will leave you inspired to follow your creative pull.

  • 090 Mindset Mini – Rewrite Your Money Story as an Artist
    2025/04/22

    Welcome back to another Mindset Mini - our bite-sized episodes designed to help you overcome the most common mindset struggles we see in the artist community.

    In this episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest blocks that hold artists back from building successful and sustainable art businesses: your money story.

    If you’ve ever felt weird about charging for your work, cringed at money affirmations, or believed deep down that being “good with money” just isn’t your thing - this episode is for you.

    Laura and Ros unpack why your relationship with money matters, especially as an artist and creative entrepreneur. If your goal is to turn your passion into profit and use your creative gifts to do good in the world, re-shaping your relationship with money can be a powerful step to take. Then your money can become a tool for impact - not something to feel guilty or ashamed about.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why awareness is the first step to rewriting your money story
    • Affirmations to start shifting your subconscious beliefs
    • Online tools and resources they both have used to work at a deeper level
    • How to practically build money confidence (support systems that keep you empowered - not overwhelmed)
    • The difference between discounting from fear vs. pricing from worth
    • Why selling your art is really about serving others with your creativity

    Ros and Laura also share how to create a more positive relationship with money, shift your focus to service, and step into the identity of a thriving artist who gets paid well for their talents.

    Tune in to hear this inspiring episode where we help you shift your inner beliefs and take empowered action to rewrite your money story as an artist - one confident step at a time.
