I shared what I said "no" to and what doing that did to me. I made it a point to reconnect with making art. This was something I had not done outside my sketchbook in years, maybe d

This is episode 415, aired live on Sept 7, 2022. This is Part 1 of 3. This is the darkest one, it does get better. I needed hibernation. Have you needed that but couldn’t take the time?

Connect with Paul: Website: https://illustrada.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulnylander Paul makes pivoting look easy. He has pursued business opportunities and pursued his passions. I am excited to interview my good friend Paul Nylander this week. Paul loves collage, photography, design, and helping people tell their story in the best way possible. He is amazing at custom book designs. And I mean custom. If you want someone who will push themselves to represent your story in an innovative and best way possible, Paul is the one for the job. I can't wait for him to talk about and show some of the projects he has taken on that I might shy away from. Paul welcomes a challenge, I think because he is endlessly curious.

Follow Joanna: https://instagram.com/joannapaolaart Website: https://JoannaPaolaArt.com Joanna Paola has been a designer then pivoted to brand strategy, and now is pursuing her fine art. We will talk about her journey and how she is seeing growth. Many of us went to art school for design, but taking drawing classes isn’t always part of the curriculum. Did you take drawing or painting classes? Have you been taking any art classes online? Do you make time for the art or have you let that slip away? Do you miss it? We’ll find out how Joanna dove into taking art classes while running her studio. I hope you’ll join us this Wednesday, March 30 at 7:30pm BST / 2:30pm EDT / 11:30am PDT / 8:30am in Hawaii.

Show notes can be found at: https://rechargingyou.com/reflecting-on-markers-of-growth/ When was the last time you looked through some of your old journals or sketchbooks? I ask because I have been doing a lot of looking at old sketchbooks recently. One reason is I’ve gotten to teach a class I have never taught before, Conceptual Drawing. I LOVE THIS CLASS!!!! It has given me more time to drawn and think about how I have grown as an illustrator and a designer. Even how I have grown as a thinker/problem solver. The other reason is I was asked to speak at Mindset Reboot and talk about how Mindset work is a daily practice. And BOY is it. I kept thinking about how my mindset is really critical to my continuous practice of art. I’ve regularly had unreasonable expectations and had less fun because I wouldn’t allow myself to make mistakes or messes. Have you ever been like that? So hard on yourself it stops your practice of something? As I was prepping for the talk at Mindset Reboot, I started seeing a pa

Debbie Clapper has been a designer and illustrator. Debbie has shifted to doing her art full time. She creates public art works for cities, murals for businesses, rooms for home owners who want something modern and fantastic. Debbie not only creates one of a kind pieces of art (never using a ruler), her background as a designer aids her in getting new work, marketing herself, packaging her pieces, and so much more. Can you draw a line so straight without a ruler like Debbie? Have you ever wanted to ditch the designer hat and go full time with your art? We will find out all about what Debbie has done and how she uses her design chops and entrepreneurial skills to deliver amazing pieces to her customers.

Get your ticket for Mindset Reboot 22: Mindset Reboot: https://madexmaker.com/mindset-reboot-conference CODE: MR22EARLY I've been struggling. I really needed the time off last week. I have been trying to do a lot. And getting really frustrated with myself about what I am not accomplishing. This week's topic couldn't have come at a better time. I am not sure about you, but my mindset in certain areas is tip top shape, other areas it looks like I've never worked it out a day in my life. This week I have my favorite Mindset Specialist back on, Mario Quezada. He is going to talk to us about why strengthening our mindset is so important. And that it is not a one and done thing. It is a daily practice. We will also chat about last year's Mindset Reboot Conference and talk about this year's conference. There are a few days left to get the early bird ticket price!!! Ends Feb 28. https://bit.ly/cimr2022 This conference was really good in getting me on track last year and I will share why. Sign up to get t

Episode 403. Aired on Wednesday, February 9, 2022. Love on Designers rolls on this week as I talk about making messes. Being willing to step out and get better, but willing to do the growing out in public. IT IS SCARY!! But when I simply show up to try and make, I get frustrated but I also can have fun. It seems like a mindset workout for me. I would love to know what you think about this episode. I shared a lot of things I don’t think are great. But I was encouraged to look at them a new way. Thanks to the live group and my co-host for today, my friend Chris Martin! This feels like a reveal from the past. Things maybe I should be embarrassed about but I am happy to show you my progress. Things that never went anywhere but kept, because I knew they weren’t finished or done in my life. _______________________ Follow Creatives Ignite: Our website: www.rechargingyou.com Find full show notes at: https://rechargingyou.com/making-messes CAMP 2022...

I can’t think of a better person to kick off Love on Designers. She will take us through her growth as an illustrator, which gives me hope Amy reminds me if I’m willing to put in the work and time to grow and pursue my passion, I will improve. I need to dive deep, seek help and encouragement, and accountability. I need to simply not give up.

Is balance in my life even possible? Do I find myself out of balance every time I do a check-up? How often am I checking in with myself or my accountability people (because I have more than one)? Am I consuming too much, or not enough? Am I drawing and making art or nothing at all? Am I using my time to pour into people or am I in hibernation mode? Being out of balance happens to me a lot. Like in the washer when I am trying to wash the bath mats and towels, or the cat bed. The washer starts banging and is all out of balance. It makes a LOT of noise and could mess up a lot of things if I leave it out of balance. My life has been out of balance. Anyone with me on this? I am not sure what I would do if I wasn’t working. I enjoy it. I was talking to my friend Dustin about this. I am not sure I know how to do other things. BUT I used to be someone with hobbies. My friend Anat has good balance, she has been working on it. It seems possible because she can do it, maybe I can. _______________________ Follow Crea

My friend Maura explained an exercise she did for herself lately and she summarized what she learned from 2019, 2020, and 2021. I thought this was extremely powerful. You see I have been in a holding pattern too afraid to get on the edge of the cliff. And this cliff is what is next. But it is unknown to me. It’s a place where my faith has to take center stage and I have to show up and take the action that is needed. _______________________ Follow DESIGN RECHARGE: Our website: www.rechargingyou.com CAMP 2022...
