Show Notes
This is the final episode of the Artist to Artist podcast. After 60 episodes, I'm putting the podcast on hiatus to focus my mentorship energy inside the membership, where I can go deeper with artists building sustainable careers.
In this episode, I'm sharing what I learned this year building Artist to Artist, and having to rebuild my business from the ground up, why I'm ending free content in 2026, and the truth about hosting masterclasses without a massive social media following or brand support.
I'm also talking about the invisible gap between free Instagram content and expensive masterclasses - and why nobody's teaching the professional infrastructure that actually keeps you working. Plus, the strategic decisions I'm making for 2026, including stepping back from weddings after 20+ years and focusing my energy where it can have the most impact.
If you've been listening to this podcast and getting value from it, this is your invitation to join me inside the membership where we can work through your actual business challenges together.

More from Artist to Artist
Before you set any goals for 2026, you need to assess where you actually are right now. Most makeup artists skip this step and wonder why nothing changes year after year.
If you're waiting until January to start planning your next year, you're already behind.
If you've been sending DMs to photographers and vendors and getting nothing back, this episode is going to change how you think about networking forever.
Speed is a non-negotiable in this industry, but it doesn't mean sacrificing quality or cutting corners on hygiene. In this episode, I break down the myths self-taught and new makeup artists believe about working fast, share the moment I realized speed was actually a skill, and walk through the systems that let you work efficiently without ever putting client safety at risk.
You're not slow because your hands aren't moving fast enough, you're slow because your setup might be working against you. In this episode, I share the shift that changed everything for me on set: stopping the comparison trance and finally asking for what I needed to be comfortable and efficient.
