Yay! Today I'm thrilled to have my very first podcast guest: Claudine Hellmuth!
Claudine's an author, illustrator and designer, who's been featured in The New York Times, The Martha Stewart Show, HSN, HGTV and more! I first picked up her first book waaay back, 10 years ago! I was delighted to talk to (and learn from!) someone who's navigated many opportunities and options(licensing, publishing, etsy shop) in her art career and how she gets it all done.

Once I hit my goals I always start thinking of what else I want to do or accomplish (sometimes not even realizing that I’ve reached my goals). I always feel guilty for not being content. I’m definitely going to try and be more aware and celebrate more. THANKS SO MUCH! I thought it was just me.
