Bravery, Luck, and Persistence with Debbie Mueller (ep. 212)

Debbie Mueller talks with host Alyson Stanfield about how she has
cultivated resilience and bravery as an artist, from finding her
community to embracing opportunities that might initially feel
intimidating. She also discusses how she’s navigated challenges
like rejection and the balancing act of art and life.


Debbie credits her successes not just to hard work and
persistence but to a little bit of luck—though her version of
luck is decidedly hard-earned.


Whether you’re just starting out as an artist or looking for
inspiration to take your next bold step, Debbie’s story is a
reminder that bravery, persistence, and the willingness to
embrace new opportunities can lead to extraordinary outcomes.
