“The moments that changed my life the most were the ones where I believed in myself before I had any guarantees.”

Artist Jaime Hamilton joins me to share about the power of surrounding yourself with inspiring people, finding mentors who encourage your own voice, and why some of the biggest opportunities in life only happen after you take the leap. Jamie talks about how stepping away on a creative retreat in the south of France became the reset she didn’t know she needed. If you’ve been waiting until everything feels certain, this conversation is your reminder that creativity often grows on the other side of courage.


Two Takeaway Tips

  1. Don’t wait until it feels safe. Whether it’s applying for a grant, booking the retreat, or starting the project, some of the best opportunities only appear after you decide to trust yourself. In our book we call it "Be Brave Days", where you just go for it, apply, ask, and go for it! The worst thing that can happen is a no!
  2. Find spaces that fuel your creativity. Being surrounded by encouraging people and inspiring places can completely shift your confidence and help you create work that feels more like you.
