The Artist’s House International Podcast

Struggling to trust yourself as an artist? You're not alone. Creative confidence isn't about being fearless—it's about knowing when to trust your instincts and take the next step, even when self-doubt creeps in. In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy, Wise Artist Podcast, we're exploring:

Why Bad Art Is Good for Your Creative Growth Think your work has to be “good” to be worth doing? Think again. In this episode, I share: Why bad art is a sign of progress—not failure How my own messy book draft led to a publishing deal Why perfectionism blocks your momentum 3 reasons making imperfect work grows you faster as an artist

Feeling scattered, blocked, or inconsistent in your creative work? This episode is for you. Inside, we'll explore: Why most artists resist structure—and why you still need it 3 simple, science-backed routines that support daily creativity How to design a rhythm that protects your energy and your art What real artists (not influencers) are doing to stay consistent

Feeling stuck in a creative fog? Whether you're a dancer, actor, writer, singer, or visual artist—this episode is for you. In this honest and practical breakdown, we'll explore: What really causes creative blocks (and why it's not laziness) How to reignite creative ideas using movement, prompts, and input shifts Why perfectionism kills momentum—and what to do instead Tools to reconnect with your inspiration (even after a long dry spell)

You didn't fail. You just hit a detour. If your creative project feels stuck, messy, or completely off course—this episode is for you. In this week's Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist episode, I'm sharing what to do when momentum disappears, doubt creeps in, and the finish line feels far away.

You're not blocked. You're just surrounded by too much noise. In a world that rewards constant output and performance, this episode invites you to slow down—and rediscover the kind of creativity that comes from stillness. In this week's Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist podcast, we explore the power of quiet spaces (both internal and external) to help you reconnect with your creativity and move forward with clarity.

Feeling behind in your creative work? You're not. You just haven't been creating at your own pace. In this episode of Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist, we explore how to stop forcing yourself into someone else's rhythm—and how to find the tempo that actually works for you.

If you're doing all the things and still feel behind—this episode is your permission slip to slow down. Your creativity doesn't need more pressure. It needs more space.

What if the voice holding you back isn't your inner critic… but your ego dressed up as protection? If you've ever spiraled after sharing something vulnerable or avoided creating because it might not be “good enough,” this episode is for you.

Are you holding your art hostage while waiting for it to be perfect? This episode is for every artist who's been stuck, spiraling, or silently hiding their work—waiting for the “right” moment.

Struggling to find the right support as an artist? Whether you're looking for emotional encouragement, creative partnerships, or professional guidance, this episode will help you build a support system that fuels your artistry instead of draining it.

Creativity is often romanticized. We see the highlight reels—the effortless performances, the finished paintings, the viral posts. But what about the moments when creating isn't fun? What about the days when motivation is nowhere to be found? If you've ever wondered whether you're doing something wrong because your creative work feels hard, this episode is for you. Let's talk about the reality of creative discipline, why art isn't always fun, and how to build a sustainable creative habit that helps you thrive.

Is social media amplifying your artistry—or pulling you away from your creative core? In this episode, we dive into the double-edged sword of social media for artists, covering:

Is success in the arts just luck, or can you create your own opportunities?

What if you said exactly what you wanted, needed, and believed—without filtering yourself? For the past three months, Echo Vetter, a life coach, speaker, and mother of five, has been practicing radical honesty—saying the hard things even when it feels scary. In this episode, she shares what happened when she stopped hiding her true thoughts.

We've been told that success comes from grinding harder, working longer, and pushing through no matter what—but that mindset burns more creatives out than it builds up. The truth? Consistency fuels creative success, not hustle. In this episode, I'm breaking down: ✅ Why hustle culture is killing your creativity ✅ How small, daily habits lead to massive creative growth ✅ Simple strategies to stay consistent without burnout ✅ What to do when you don't feel inspired Want the full breakdown + extra resources?

Artists don't just create—they are artists. But what does it really take to support them in a way that's healthy, sustainable, and mutually fulfilling? Whether you're a partner, friend, or family member of an artist, understanding their world can strengthen your relationship and help you navigate the creative journey together. In this episode, my husband Andrew and I (after 20 years together!) break down what it actually means to love and support an artist—without enabling bad habits or losing yourself in the process. Tune in to learn:
