  • Good honest feedback

    I've been following Sam on Instagram for many years. I've taken her workshops and have been in creative coaching sessions with her for a couple of years. She never feeds you any fluff and always gives you straightforward feedback. This podcast is no different. Love it, Sam!

  • Wonderfully supportive and practical advice for artists at any stage.

    I loved listening to this. Sam is an experienced artist and coach, and gives such helpful and practical advice for dilemmas that arise when you’re a maker. I like how the real life scenarios are very relatable to all artists. Sam offers a non judgemental and supportive way of reframing how we might think about our own work (eg ‘not good enough’) and brings you back to why you want to make art in the first place. We can all learn so much from Sam, and I can’t wait to hear the rest of the series.
