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.
You Are A Work of Art
You’re Allowed to Be a Beginner
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you spend your days being the capable one, trying something you’re not good at can feel surprisingly uncomfortable.
But what if enjoying it was enough reason to begin?
In this episode of You Are a Work of Art, I’m sharing the story of a pottery class and a very chunky cup, the unexpected joy of bookbinding, and a dance class with my husband that involved plenty of stepping on each other.
We’re talking about making room for curiosity, asking for help, and trying something without expecting a beautiful result on your first attempt.
You’ll hear:
• Why being a beginner can feel strange when people usually look to you for answers.
• How to explore something new without buying every supply.
• Why enjoyment matters before you’ve developed the skill.
• A simple creative reset to help you loosen up and notice what’s in front of you.
For the reset, bring paper, a pen or pencil, and an everyday object, such as a mug or leaf.
