| 5/26/26 | How to Start Teaching Online Without a Big Audience (Quilter Case Study) | You don't need a finished course, a big following, or a perfect plan; you just need to start. That's the quiet truth running through this whole conversation with Lynn Christiansen, quilt pattern designer, former school librarian, and founder of the Wanderlust Quilt Society. Lynn launched her first travel-themed block-of-the-month program with 11 students and content she was still building in real time. Those founding members helped shape everything that came after. Five adventures later, she... | 53m 38s | ||||||

In this episode, I'm talking with Maddie Kertay, founder of the Badass Quilter Society, a values-driven creative community for progressive quilters, crafters, and makers. Maddie built her Patreon from a simple sticker subscription into a protected, paid community space with thousands of engaged members. Her approach is grounded, practical, and refreshingly direct: you don't ... | 48m 16s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | How Artists Can Build a Career Through Connection and IG Live: Michele Muska’s Creative Journey | In this episode, I sit down with Michele Muska, a textile artist, craft industry connector, and the face of the iron brand Oliso. Michele has spent decades doing many things at once: painting, art therapy, product development, publishing, hand stitching, and now custom stitching on clothing. Her career has always been shaped more by curiosity and connection than by a tidy plan. She and her friend Leslie Tucker Jenison have been hosting a weekly Instagram Live since August 2020 (phone-only, lo... | 36m 55s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | YouTube Should Be Your Main Social Media Channel | If social media has been feeling like a constant pressure… like you’re always behind, always needing to post more, but not really seeing the results you hoped for, you’re not alone. I’ve been feeling that too. In this episode, I wanted to have a real conversation about a different way to approach content as a creator. Not doing more, not being everywhere, but choosing one platform that actually works with you, not against you. For me, that platform is YouTube. Not because it’s trendy, but be... | 18m 11s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | How to Turn a Handmade Hobby into a Profitable Creative Brand with Jackie Huang | What happens when a 3D artist from Lucasfilm sells out at Comic-Con and realizes he might have a business? In this episode, Jackie Huang, founder of Woolbuddy, shares how a handmade toy for his daughter grew into an international needle felting brand sold in museums and online worldwide. We talk about failing faster, breaking the “invisible wall” between buying and doing, scaling from garage production to outsourced fulfillment, and why teaching your craft does not create competition. Jackie... | 47m 44s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 | Crack the Color Code: Teaching Creativity with Confidence with MJ Kinman | What if you don’t have to eliminate fear before you start teaching?

We also talk about diversifying income with patterns, books, ... | 52m 53s | ||||||
| 3/3/26 | Let Go of Perfectionism and Heal Through Watercolor with Madhu Srinivasan | In this episode, Lyric Kinard talks with watercolor artist and educator Madhu Srinivasan about what happens when we stop trying to control our creativity. Once driven by perfectionism, Madhu shares how watercolor taught her to slow down, trust the process, and create from a place of presence rather than pressure. This conversation explores how art can become a healing practice, especially for creatives who feel burned out, stuck, or disconnected from joy. Madhu reflects on how letting go tran... | 52m 42s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | Why Substack Works for Artists Who Teach Online and Value Community | In this episode, Lyric Kinard talks with Kelly Feltault, an artist, social scientist, and certified therapeutic arts facilitator, about building a creative business that honors the realities of chronic illness rather than pushing against them. Kelly shares how living with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and sarcoidosis reshaped her identity, her relationship with art, and ultimately the way she teaches. She explains why most online courses are inaccessible to people with fluctuating energy, and... | 55m 11s | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | How a Weaving Teacher Built a Simple Online Business with Kits, Courses, and YouTube | What if growing your creative business didn’t mean doing more, scaling bigger, or teaching everything you know? In this episode, Lucy Jennings shares how she built a calm, sustainable online teaching business by simplifying her offers, focusing on beginner wins, and letting her content work smarter, not harder. From weaving kits paired with mini courses to using YouTube and Pinterest as long-term discovery tools, Lucy walks through the real decisions that helped her grow without burnout. Thi... | 43m 08s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | Launch Before You Build Debrief | In this solo episode, I walk you through the real results of our first Workshop Pre-Sell Challenge at the Academy for Virtual Teaching. If you have ever delayed teaching because your course “isn’t ready yet,” this is your invitation to do things differently. I share what actually happened when a group of creative teachers launched their workshops before building a single lesson. We talk about market testing, momentum, student feedback, tiny daily tasks, and the magic of building inside a supp... | 21m 11s | ||||||

In this episode, Kimberley shares her remarkable journey, from sewing childhood dolls on a treadle machine with no electricity to becoming a textile artist, teacher, ceramic artist, conference founder, and creative force in her community.
