  • Postpartum Artist Lifeline

    Kat’s podcast has been a beacon of light and hope this summer after my son was born! I was so afraid of losing my artist identity as a new mom, and this podcast became my lifeline in connecting to the Art world and not feeling so alone.

I feel like every episode has been a delicious, bite-sized reminder of how we can do ... more
