Welcome back Beth Pickens! My favorite art consultant, art counselor & lesbian-feminist money coach (she's a Capricorn too!) We celebrate her new book âMake Your Art No Matter What: Moving Beyond Creative Hurdlesâ and discuss some of its core topics â money, time, fear, grief, isolation, education, and asking for what you want. Listen for a chance to win your own copy!
Beth shares tons of tips to enhance your experience of both your art and your life. Investing time and money into yourself, distinguishing isolation from solitude, and warming up for your own creative practice are all talked about. We also explore staying connected to stillness while an abundance of ways to spend time become available to us. Beth gives advice to artists with common fears like experiencing disappointment while pitching and avoiding promoting your completed projects.
Beth says, âFor artists, the hard thing is not attaining goals, getting the grant or getting the opportunity or the show or whatever, the hard thing is being present for it and actually enjoying it.â
She reminds us all, "We canât solve interior situations with exterior things!"
Follow Beth, buy her book & listen to her podcast. (Some LA libraries also have the book!)

Taking Care w/ ANDREA ÁMEZ
Holistic esthetician ANDREA ÃMEZ returns to the show for the first time since launching the ÃMEZ Marketplace and developing her ANTI-POLLUTANT MASQUE w/ ALIANGÃ.
We discuss building an independent skincare brand during the peak of the celebrity skincare boom, hand-picking products for her own retail platform and formulating her first masque with protective and reparative properties.
We pour ourselves into the topic of perfume and luxuriate in memories of the defining scents of our pasts. We touch on hair brushing and hair serums, meditating and resourcing inner power. Andrea talks about treating kilaris pilaris, identifying melasma, using microcurrent facial devices at home, double cleansing sensitive skin and more. She explains choosing mineral vs chemical sunscreen, protecting your skin from the sun while driving and incorporating smaller lines into your wellness rituals. There are tons of ÃMEZING tips! All rooted in Andreaâs interdisciplinary knowledge of holistic wellness, health, beauty and experiential personal care.

Hi, it's me! Only me!
I'm back from a prolonged hiatus with my very first solo ep! What a risk! Tell me how it goes! I talk about losing a friend, traveling for the first time since the pandemic began, turning 30, getting engaged, and more. I also discuss my love of Lindsay Lohan and Anthony Kiedis, the shameless way I engage with Bravolebrities, and my year of only reading memoirs.
Please subscribe to the show wherever you're listening. New interviews coming soon! Follow me on IG @TSTAR7 and write me with questions and comments at [email protected].
Thanks to Margot Padilla for engineering and editing.
