How to Move From Waiting to Action

In today’s podcast, Jamie is here to give you a midsummer creative pep talk!  This talk is a reminder that no matter how the summer is going, you are an artist. The magical thing about being an artist is that your art is always there for you, in the good times and the bad. In Episode #43 of the Thriving Artists, Postcast, How to Move from Waiting to Action, Jamie opens up about her personal journey with IVF and what this experience taught her about acceptance and when to push forward.   Jamie describes her show, Mother Time, and her large-scale installation piece that created a fantastical waiting room where she invited others to sit with her in her grief and time of productive re-imagining. She shares how valuable it can be to accept times of waiting or moments we need to pause our work, and also the importance of being tuned in to when to push forward. Most importantly, Jamie reminds us there will be a time when we step out again to face our fears and jump back into our practices, and that we don’t need to do that in isolation!  Our community sabbatical is almost over, and we are ready to jump into our Virtual Artist Residency in mid-August. Join us to dive into some serious art-making together! We are here for you, we are cheering you on, and we believe in the work you are doing as thriving artists!  Join the Thrive Together Network to build your network of support!
