The Rollercoaster Ride of Being an Artist
In this podcast episode, Jennifer has a heart-conversation with Emily Martinez all about navigating the tumultuous journey of being an artist and creative. They talk about what it means to openly share the highs and lows of one’s artistic pursuits on social media, battling the comparison game, embracing one's uniqueness, and the transformative power of becoming our own biggest cheerleader in a world that often demands conformity. They discuss success as a personal journey and how crucial it is to root for yourself in a world that often feels competitive and uncertain. They also emphasize the importance of speaking up and the privilege of letting people into your life on your terms.
