Five years in, I’m sharing the messy, magical, and sometimes mortifying truth of starting an art business.

From budgets and creative time to community, shame, and learning to take up space, these are the seven lessons I wish I’d known at the start.

Plus, there’s a free Creative Courage Kickstart to help you carve out time for your own creative dream!

After a month on the road with a van full of art and a heart full of ideas, I wasn’t quite ready to come home.

Somewhere between the cows in Moruya and the peacocks in Daylesford, I remembered who I was. This final chapter of my solo road trip is about creative freedom, unexpected joy, and the quiet kind of confidence that blooms when you trust yourself to take the long way.

Part 2 of a road trip with rain, art, dolphins, and a no-sucking-in, joy-filled bikini moment. This is the real, messy middle of my 6000km solo adventure.

Come behind the scenes for creative chaos, unexpected beauty, and the kind of freedom that sticks with you long after the road ends. If you’ve ever wanted to do life your way, this one’s for you.
