You Are A Work of Art
You can love your life and still feel a little lost inside of it.
You Are a Work of Art is a podcast about life, creativity, and making space for what matters.
Hosted by Monique Burton, each episode explores what it looks like to reconnect with yourself in the middle of a full life—not by blowing everything up, but by paying attention again. To what you need. What you enjoy. What you’ve been carrying. And what might be ready to bloom.
Expect honest conversations about creativity, identity, motherhood, relationships, personal growth, and the little moments that help us feel more like ourselves again.
You don’t have to be an artist to be creative.
You don’t need hours of free time.
Sometimes, you just need a little room to hear yourself again.
And yes…there will be flowers. 🌻
You are already a work of art.

Create in the Margins: Making Time for Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re balancing work, family, and a house that always needs something, time for yourself can feel like the thing you’ll get to once everything else is finished.
But what if everything doesn’t have to be finished first?
In this episode of You Are a Work of Art, I’m sharing how I began making room for creativity in my everyday life—from simple watercolor swatches to leaving supplies within reach and giving the evening cleanup an ending.
We talk about:
• Letting go of the perfect setup, supplies, and idea.
• Choosing something you enjoy that’s easy to leave and return to.
• Using a cleanup timer to make room for your own time.
• Navigating interruptions and missed days without making creativity another obligation.
• Building self-trust by noticing what you need and making space for it.
This episode’s creative reset takes “Create in the Margins” literally. Grab paper and a pen or pencil, draw a loose border, and explore the edges with words, doodles, or simple shapes. Watch on YouTube to create alongside me.
You don’t have to make a beautiful page. You don’t have to finish it. You can simply begin.
