25 Years of Not Quitting | Kirsten Jackson - EP144

From turning grief into colour, Kirsten Jackson’s art proves that pain can become purpose. After losing her Mum at just 14, Kirsten found refuge in painting. A practice that would evolve into a globally recognised abstract art career built on flow, endurance and creative truth. Her story is one of resilience, patience, and trusting the long game.   In this episode, Kirsten shares her journey from childhood loss to building a thriving international art business, navigating rejection, self-doubt, motherhood, health challenges, and the discipline required to keep creating over decades.   You’ll learn how to find flow in your work, why endurance matters more than talent, how to turn passion into a sustainable business, and what it really means to keep going when there’s no finish line.   Get in touch with Kirsten Jackson – www.kirstenjackson.com.au   -   Kirsten’s Quick Fire Answers   What does success mean to you? “Continuing to do what I love, staying true to my values, and never stopping the creative journey.”   What does happiness mean to you? “Presence, freedom, and being deeply connected to what I’m doing.”   What’s your normal morning routine these days? “Early starts, movement, time in the studio, and creating before the day takes over.”   What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? “Keep going — even when it feels slow, it’s all adding up.”   Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? “Dr Wesley.”   -   Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity   -   Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Chapters   (00:00:00) – Intro (00:00:43) – Chapter 1 | Finding art through grief and flow (00:06:47) – Chapter 2 | From passion to profession (00:20:44) – Chapter 3 | Health, resilience and endurance (00:24:47) – Chapter 4 | Scaling creativity without losing balance (00:40:36) – Quick Fire Questions (00:42:55) – Outro   #podcast #art #resilience
