Hi, I'm Shannon

Walking the path of the artist’s life can be amazing and fascinating, but also uncertain and scary at times.

As a creative professional - or someone who’s just starting out - you might have a vision of how you want your art and business to look, but you may has some of the very common struggles we all have - you may be paralyzed by your fear of technology or by the dreaded Impostor Syndrome, stalled by inaction in the “How” Trap, or just fearful of doing the wrong thing.

You’re not alone.

You are human, and on top of that,

you’re an artist.

This is exactly why I started The Metaphor Mindset Podcast. To talk about the ideas that matter to artists, writers, makers, and thinkers. So we can create businesses we love - as much as we love making art.

Join me each week as I break down business concepts to connect with the metaphors and ideas of art, so you can:

Think like an artist.

Work like a boss.
