Tools to Help You Emerge from a Struggle Even Stronger Than Before with Kelly Milukas (#83)

This month we’re focusing on the benefits of cleaning out — from
physical clutter to organizing your lives, eliminating obligations
that are no longer serving you to slowing down enough to focus on
what matters most, in your art business and in your life. Kelly
Milukas has been through more in the last 10 years than anyone
should have to endure, and yet she never lost hope and
determination.

Kelly and I scheduled our conversation to discuss her "life
edit," which involved getting rid of what no longer served her.
It quickly became apparent that ridding herself of stuff when she
had to downsize her studio is something she had been preparing
herself for in the many years leading up to that moment.


This conversation is about coming out on the other side of a long
struggle stronger than you were previously. Join us as we
celebrate the triumph of one artist's positive spirit, discover
the tools she used to facilitate the process, and hear about the
people she relied on along the way.
