  • Get Off The Struggling Artist Bus

    I was thrown a life-saver by listening to this podcast today. It feels like I have been getting rejected from more things than I even have applied to. The inner chorus of self doubt has been deafening. Marina’s ability to reframe rejection and step back to see the bigger truths is very helpful. In her clear and logical explanations, the stories we tell ourselves become just that - stories. I’m learning to tell myself better stories. Thank you Marina!

    The Artist Advisory Hotline is such a gem. Marina offers so much insider knowledge and practical insight for artists, and she shares it in a way that feels both down-to-earth and heartfelt. I always come away feeling seen, supported, and inspired. Her thoughtful approach and willingness to share her experience make this podcast an invaluable resource for any artist navigating their creative career.
