Asking For Help Is Not Weakness - It Is How You Will Be Successful with Danielle Krysa

For this episode, Ceri is joined by Danielle Krysa, host of "The Jealous Curator" podcast, author and a highly successful mixed media artist. Danielle shares her very rocky artistic journey, including why she stopped creating art for 20 years and how she rediscovered her creative voice through therapy, mentorship, and self-acceptance.

The right therapy frees up a huge amount of mental and emotional energy to use for your art. Consistent practice is key, even when it is hard. Rituals and processes will keep you in the creative groove. When you create what you want and tap into your personal narrative you produce your most powerful work. Take the meanest thing your inner critic says and flip it into a positive statement. Choose not to care about negativity. BEST MOMENTS “If you aren't letting who you are come through in your work, it's just porridge - it's just gonna look like other´s work.” “I thought I was the only one with that voice in your head telling you that you suck. I did not realise that is a human condition.” “By going to therapy (EMDR) and getting yourself a mentor, you've given yourself that gift of actually rewriting the story for yourself.” “It's 20 chapters, and each chapter is about a lie, the bulls**t that artists have to navigate. ” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/daniellekrysaart https://www.audible.com/author/Danielle-Krysa/B00GI8TC0M PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.
