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
