with host artist Miriam Schulman
Have you ever wanted to torch your whole art business to the ground? You’re not alone. I’ve had those moments too, whether it was a show with no sales, ghosting from collectors, or just the crushing weight of feeling like nothing is working. But before you throw it all away, let’s talk about what’s really happening when those emotions take over. More often than not, it’s not your art or your audience. It’s your nervous system crying out for safety. In this episode, I’m sharing true stories, coaching insights, and what to do instead of spiraling.
“Hope is not a strategy.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Learn how to spot an artist tantrum before it derails your momentum
- Identify the difference between a strategic pivot and an emotional spiral
- Get practical tools to reset, recalibrate, and recommit instead of ghosting your own goals
“You don’t get traction from panic. You get traction from patterned consistency, even when no one’s watching.” – Miriam Schulman
