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.

A Burst of Joy: Rediscovering What You Enjoy

When was the last time you chose something simply because you enjoyed it?
Between work, family, and everything that needs doing, your own interests can become the part of life that keeps getting postponed. In this episode of You Are a Work of Art, I share the story behind one of my favorite paintings: a burst of coral, deep blue, and sunflower yellow that still feels like me.
We talk about discovering what you enjoy, the guilt that can come with taking time for yourself, and how small creative choices helped me build self-trust and confidence. You don’t need an old hobby to return to or a clear idea of what you love. You can get curious about what feels good in this season.
You’ll also hear about my evening reset and a simple activity, A Little Burst of Joy, to help you explore your own preferences with paper and a pen or pencil. Color is optional.
In this episode:
• Noticing the colors, activities, and details you’re drawn to
• Giving your preferences a place alongside your responsibilities
• Making room for creative self-care in a busy working life
• Choosing one small thing you’d like a little more of this week
