from The Splatter Effect · host Kendal and Kayla
In this episode, we sit down with Katie Phillips just after she made the bold decision to leave her full-time job and step fully into her life as an artist. Known for her quirky, joy-filled presence on Instagram and her thriving world of paint classes and festivals, Katie has built something truly unique and now she’s going all in. But this story runs deeper than business. Katie opens up about rebuilding her life after losing her husband, and what it’s been like to find love again in a completely new season. We talk about how grief, joy, creativity, and courage can all exist at the same time. We also get into the practical side: how she knew she was ready to leave her job, what her income streams actually look like (hello, classes and festivals), and what she’s focusing on as she steps into this next chapter. If you’re craving a story that feels real, hopeful, and a little unconventional // in life and in business // this one is going to stick with you. It can be lonely selling art every week without a solid group of like-minded friends. Meet your new business besties Kayla Cole Pacana (Art Business Coach) and Kendal Blanchard (Fine Artist from Fairhope, AL) as they dissect all things life, art, and business.
