I Made This - A Creative's Podcast

06/19/2024

This week, I am chatting with my friend Emily, owner of Blackburn Goods!

Having known her for over 20 years, her creativity is certainly an inspiration. We talk about what it's like being a small business owner, the checkpoints she puts into her life to manage both sides of her life as creative and mom/wife. We dig into parenthood, and so much more.

Today's episode features my friend, Ali Waller! She is a New York-based artist who I first came across with her art project "/200" which began in response to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

In this episode, we talk about the sensitivity involved in casting on SA survivors, the expectation of art and creating, and evolving as you get more in touch with yourself.

Given this week's topic, I do want to put a TW out there and I hope you can still learn from this great conversation.
