Welcome to Episode 18 of life I design the podcast.  This episode is all about my advice from growing as an artist but the evolution of being an artist, and mindset and everything around that! Before we being getting into all of that, I have to share that this episode will be our last for this season - Season 1!  18 episodes and some great information so far! I’ve look at the episodes I’ve created to-date and am really happy with what I’ve shared so far and now it’s time to plan the next season and what direction I want to go with not only topics, but even bringing in guests and having some great conversations. I’m not sure what season 2 will look like yet, but I am open to any suggestions from you about what you’d like to hear more about so please do comment, email, and let me know your thoughts! Starting this podcast was a passion project of mine, and I’m just really happy to have been able to share my story and experience with you. If you’ve been tuning in so far, thank you again for your time, attention and I hope that you've been inspired along the way to follow your creative passion and to be light and free with how you express your artistic side! Thank you for joining me, your host Nicki Traikos.  I am an artist, instructor and creative business owner. I started and built life I design in 2012 from home, while raising a family and learning how to juggle it all! The podcast is my way of pulling back the curtain and inviting you to step into my home studio so we can get candid about all things art, business and life, to help YOU create a life that YOU design!
