145. Juggling Art, Business and Family (Q&A Session)

The Laura Horn Art Podcast

Show Notes

This week, Richie and I answer your questions. You’ll hear personal stories including how we met, whether we always wanted children and what’s been the hardest part of our journey so far. We also share business tips on areas such as Facebook advertising and getting started with teaching.

One thing you’ll notice is that things are always changing. Being a creative couple is a juggling act that requires plenty of communication and adjustment!

There are times when we focus on creative work and feel like we are not being good parents and then there are times when we are very hands-on with our family but lack creative purpose.

It’s not all doom and gloom though! We chat about how we have learned to deal with this ebb and flow and what we are loving in this current phase.

We hope that the episode is informative and encouraging!

In this episode, Richie shares a simple mindset tool for checking in on how we’re doing. Are we flat chat and edging towards burnout? Or have we eased off so much that we’re starting to disconnect and stagnate? It’s a helpful way to find that sustainable sweet spot and keep the spark alive over the long term.
