Ep30: Owning Your Desire & Charging for Your Art

Jul 14, 2020

As an artist and a healer, is it okay to charge for what you do? Do you have the right to desire more from what you do?

In this podcast, Heather brings in an amazing guest, Miriam Schulman, who will share her thoughts on desire, permission, and charging for your art. Miriam is a watercolor and mixed media artist for over 20 years and the founder of the Inspiration Place, an online art class site, and The Inspiration Place podcast. She abandoned a hedge fund career after witnessing the devastation of 9/11 to work on her art full time. Rejecting the starving artist myth, her watercolor and mixed media paintings have been seen on NBC, Amazon Prime, published in art magazines & home decor books and collected worldwide.

Listen in and be inspired by this episode to start embracing your desire to deliver more to the people you serve without any of the guilt.
