Magic in Art and Life with Lisa Sonora

Art making is a mysterious thing. Those of us who are called to make art can’t not do it. And yet, we’re often terrified to share what we’ve made with the world. I recently spoke with Lisa Sonora for Stumbling Toward Genius, and she said some things about art-making and daring that might accelerate your own bold moves.

Lisa recently launched a new shop filled with her cheeky and delightful designs called Magic Gratitude. We spoke about magic and its place in artmaking.

If you’ve ever struggled with the courage to put your work out there or battled with being isolated in your creativity, this is the episode for you. Lisa and I have been mastermind buddies for years now, and this will give you a peek into what we talk about when we go into the heart of why we make art.

In this episode:

100 Day Project

Magic Gratitude

Visual Journal Studio

The Creative Entrepreneur book

I’d be so grateful for your help with a review of the podcast Stumbling Toward Genius on iTunes.

    I am straight up saluting this artist. Thank you for saying you are allergic to positive thinking, law of attraction. Thank you for talking about neuroscience and the brains ability to shift. Also, for what you said about the library.

      Hi Norm!

      Thanks for taking the time to share how this conversation impacted you. And for the specific parts that moved you. The library part – SO big for me, too.

      I hope this helped you to be more you and to make more of your own art with less resistance.
