435. The 4 Stages of a Muralist

Join MURAL MONEY BOOTCAMP starting May 1st! This episode of the Artist Academy Podcast breaks down the stages every artist goes through while building a career, based on both my own experience and what I’ve seen coaching artists over the years.It starts with the early phase of uncertainty and self-doubt, where you’re figuring things out and questioning if this is even possible. Then comes the stage where work starts coming in, but everything feels messy, overwhelming, and you realize you’ve been undercharging and overcommitting.From there, it often leads into burnout, caused by saying yes to everything, people-pleasing, and not knowing how to manage your time or boundaries. Eventually, if you stick with it, you move into a stage where you’re more confident, more selective, and finally in control of your schedule, pricing, and energy.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, second-guessed yourself, or wondered if you’re doing this “right,” this episode will help you understand where you are and what to expect next.
