    E92: How to Build a Sustainable Creative Business: Resilience & Systems

    Send us your feedbackThis co‑hosted conversation between Kaylie Edwards and Delores Naskrent lifts the veil on what it really takes to build a sustainable creative business. Instead of quick hacks and generic advice, they unpack the quiet, behind‑the‑scenes work that actually makes a difference—like cultivating resilience, refining your craft through deliberate practice, embracing experimentation, and putting systems in place to reduce decision fatigue. You’ll hear stories about failed products, pivoting when things don’t work, and the importance of knowing your “why.” Kaylie shares how visible tasks and Google Tasks reminders keep her on track, while Delores recalls lessons learned from in‑person shows and recycling unsold art. Together they emphasise community, accountability and a growth mindset as essential ingredients for creative longevity.Key Takeaways: • Resilience over talent: Creative success depends more on the ability to bounce back and adapt than on innate talent. • Deliberate practice matters: Improvement comes from reflection, refinement and learning—simply repeating the same actions doesn’t lead to growth. • Systems free you up: Templates, checklists and visible tasks reduce cognitive load and make it easier to stay consistent. • Embrace experimentation: Treat every launch as data. Learn from what doesn’t sell and adjust instead of striving for perfection. • Find your audience: Sometimes the problem isn’t your product but where or to whom you’re marketing it; adjust your environment. • Accountability & community: Having people to check in with, whether through membership communities or co‑working sessions, helps you follow through.If this episode resonates, hit play and listen to the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts. If you’re loving Creative Juggle Joy, consider supporting the show and joining our community of creative jugglers at buzzsprout.com/2397445/support.

    E91: Finding Your Focus: The One Thing That Moves You Forward

    Send us your feedbackIn this solo episode, Delores reflects on a simple yet transformative idea — choosing the one thing that truly moves you forward. She shares how reading The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan inspired her to strip away distractions, focus on her education business and mentoring, and create momentum in her art career. Through personal stories about hiring help, planning ahead and letting go of multitasking, Delores invites fellow artists, handmade sellers and digital creators to embrace a more focused, intentional approach to business.Key Takeaways Focusing on one primary goal creates momentum and clarity.  Modern distractions like emails and social media quietly erode creative energy; deliberate focus helps reclaim it.  Planning, writing tasks down and hiring support free up time for the creative work that matters most.  Ask yourself: “What one thing, if done consistently over the next 90 days, will make everything else easier or unnecessary?”  Align projects and decisions with your core objective; if something doesn’t serve the one thing, delegate, delay or say no.  Progress comes from doing the right thing at the right time, not from doing everything at once. Ready to simplify and find your one thing? Listen now to hear Delores’ story and share this episode with a creative friend. If you enjoy the show, please consider supporting us — your encouragement keeps Creative Juggle Joy going and helps us bring more uplifting conversations to artists and creators.Support the show Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!

    Send us your feedbackIn this solo episode Kaylie gets honest about why classic list‑building tactics – like offering a 10 % discount or lengthy freebies – aren’t working anymore. After years of being marketed to, people are tired of collecting PDFs that never get used. Kaylie explains that people are now seeking stability and control, and an email list feels like a calm, personal space in the chaos of social media. Instead of hoarding information, subscribers want quick wins, interactive experiences, and resources that actually help them solve a problem. She shares the four types of lead magnets that work in 2026—quick‑win resources, quizzes/assessments, bite‑sized audio, and tools or templates—and reminds us that people join because it feels right, not just because something is free. Kaylie also talks about creating low‑ticket offerings (under \$50) to invite people into your world, and she highlights her email strategy workshop and the Spellweaver Creative Hub membership for those who want deeper support.If this episode sparks a light‑bulb moment, share it with a fellow creative who’s tired of outdated advice.Listen now to discover what actually makes someone hit “subscribe,” and support the show by sharing your biggest takeaway. 💌Support the show Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!

    Send us your feedbackIn this solo episode, Delores explores the false divide between paint and pixels. She invites us into her studio, sharing memories of constructing mixed-media pieces by hand and her early experiments with collage, art journals and sculpture. As a teacher, she adopted digital tools like Illustrator and Photoshop to expand her creative possibilities without abandoning her roots. Delores recalls her first licensing contract with Russ (the teddy bear people), how working with a wall-art agent pushed her to build collections, and why her traditional background still informs every digital brush stroke. Throughout, she reassures artists that licensing doesn’t require slick perfection—buyers are drawn to work that feels warm, human and handmade.Ready to blend your own paint and pixels? Give this episode a listen and, if you enjoy it, please share with a creative friend or support the show! 🎧Support the show Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!

    Send us your feedbackKaylie shares an eye‑opening conversation about why email isn’t “dead” but our inboxes are different thanks to AI. She explains how Gmail, Outlook and other providers now summarise, group and prioritise messages based on patterns of engagement. For creative sellers, this means polished newsletters that never invite a reply are more likely to be hidden, whereas human‑sounding stories and questions get surfaced. Throughout the episode Kaylie offers practical experiments and a simple 30‑day plan to help artists, handmade sellers and digital creators build relationships through their emails rather than feeling ignored.Key Takeaways·       AI‑driven inboxes (Gmail, Outlook and others) summarise and bundle messages based on engagement; open rates and replies teach the algorithms whether your email matters.·       Creatives can stand out by sending conversational emails: share a micro‑story, ask one clear question and encourage quick replies.·       Example prompts: a “this or that” choice, a one‑word check‑in, asking what’s stopping someone from creating, or letting readers pick a path (1–3).·       A simple 30‑day plan: send two relationship‑focused emails, one experiment email and one conversational offer each month.·       Kaylie is hosting a live workshop 2nd April 2026 on staying visible in AI‑driven inboxes; registration link and free conversation‑booster templates here.Listen & SupportCurious about how to make your emails feel more human? 🎧 Hit play to learn the easy shifts that will help your messages rise above the AI noise.

    Send us your feedbackIn this guest episode Delores sits down with Kristen Chamberlain—the creative behind City Mouse Art—to explore what it really looks like to build a thriving art practice while working a full‑time factory job. Raised by “creative women” in a small Midwestern town, Kristen’s heart was always pulled toward the energy of the city. Her work now blends modern florals with crisp geometric design—a blend she describes as a digital mosaic—and each piece is intentionally hand‑drawn rather than AI‑generated. During the conversation they discuss how a pandemic lay‑off nudged Kristen to turn her hobby into a sustainable business, how the Five Cards and Five Days challenge and Thrive community provided clarity and confidence, and why discipline and community matter when you’re juggling creativity, family and a day job. If you’re curious about building a creative business on your own terms, this episode will leave you inspired and motivated to take steady, intentional steps.Ready to be inspired by Kristen’s story?Listen to the full episode to hear how she bridges art and business one steady decision at a time. If you love what we’re creating at Creative Juggle Joy, support the show by sharing it with a friend, leaving a review on your favourite podcast app, or visiting our listener support page.Kristen Chamberlain - City Mouse Art:Website: Discover Unique Digital Art Designs In Our Studio | City Mouse ArtKristen's PinterestInstagram:(@citymouse_art) • Instagram photos and videosCity Mouse Art NewsletterSupport the show Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!

    E78: Creativity: Kim Snider's Journey from Teaching to Viral Art Success

    Send us your feedbackIn this heartfelt episode of Creative Juggle Joy, Delores sits down with Kim Snider of Play Art with Kim to unpack the winding road from reluctant art dabbling to a viral greeting‑card moment. Kim opens up about being told she “wasn’t good at art,” shelving her creative dreams for decades, and then rediscovering the joy of making through homeschooling and YouTube tutorials. Together they explore how picking a seemingly “small” niche like greeting cards unlocked freedom, how print‑on‑demand platforms such as Card Isle and community challenges kept her consistent, and why one viral Christmas card reshaped her plans for licensing and her website. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to jump into the creative world, Kim’s story is proof that your art journey can start anytime and take you somewhere magical.Key takeaways:• Believing creativity is a learnable skill rather than an innate talent can change your entire art journey.• Starting small—like experimenting with greeting cards—provides freedom to explore different mediums without feeling boxed in.• Print‑on‑demand services like Card Isle and Zazzle make it possible to turn your art into real products without huge up‑front costs.• Consistency via challenges or daily projects builds momentum and confidence—Kim’s viral Christmas card wasn’t a fluke, it was the result of showing up regularly.If you’re an artist, handmade seller, or digital creator craving inspiration, this conversation will reassure you that creativity blooms on its own timetable.
