In our first episode we talk about what the title of our Podcast means. How we deal with impostor syndrome and which limiting beliefs trip us up. Artists and Books mentioned: Struthless: https://struthless.com/ Lynda Barry, book "What it Is": https://g.co/kgs/UMFvRV Key Takeaways 1.      Feeling like an artist is not a static thing, allow for fluidity, change and growth. 2.      The value of what you do, is separate from the money you generate from it. 3.      Instead of asking or answering the question: “What do you do?”, ask “where does your life-force go?” 4.      Labels become important when you need to claim something out the norm and when you want to be a role model for others. 5.       Keep showing up and making art in spite of your limiting beliefs. 6.      If you’re growing your beliefs should grow and change with you. 7.      How people perceive us, isn’t necessarily how we feel inside. 8.       If you’re looking for a practical assignment, start with the phrase “I am an artist because”. Write this down several times and fill in your own because. 9.      To take it to the next level, write it down in the morning, spend your day with the question, then write down the answers at the end of the day.
