| 11/18/25 | 10 Lessons for Taking Creative Classes Online! - Episode #154 | In a recent blog post and podcast episode, I confessed that I had been experiencing creative burnout, but I think I was just...bored.

So in this episode, I'm sharing my top 10 lessons and tips on how to take creative online courses (so that you actually learn something!). Have a listen! Got a question?

| 9/22/24 | Why We Lose Our Creative Spark (And How to Get It Back!) - #147 | I have a confession: I haven't been feeling very creative lately. I've been working on projects behind-the-scenes, but I haven't felt that same creative spark and excitement. I've felt stuck and absorbed in other things, particularly family matters.

I've been using this strategy this week to knock out some of my most stressful "MUST DOs" that I have been ignoring.

What makes this an inspiring episode is that my friend and I get vulernable about what it was really like to tackle a DIY project together.

(w/Guest Diane Dains) - #139 | I love hearing from other women who decided to make the leap and buy a "she shed" to turn it into a workshop! Reader and fellow DIYer in the Thrift Diving community, Diane Dains, did that very thing: she bought a huge 16' x 28' shed to use as a workshop, but she decided that she would finish off the interior herself. She even hired an electrician to be her "teacher" to oversee her interior wiring (and she had never done interior wiring before!) Listen to this conversation ... | 1h 19m 46s | ||||||
