Finding softer ways to grow our art, off the grid with Amelia Hruby

In this episode, we chat with Amelia Hruby about finding softer,
more intentional ways to grow our art and businesses—without
relying on social media. Amelia shares insights into her decision
to quit social media, how it impacted her creative life, and how
to build a business that doesn’t depend on the digital grind. We
explore the many creative projects she’s launched, including
Softer Sounds Studio, and discuss myths around marketing, the
challenges of staying true to our values, and how to embrace
unconventional paths in both art and business. If you’re feeling
disconnected or overwhelmed by social media, this episode is full
of inspiration for creating from a grounded, off-the-grid place.

About me


Pascale Côté is a creativity guide, artist, and writer who helps
creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding
them to work *with* their (creative, complex, unconventional)
nature instead of against it. She helps artists, visionaries,
disruptors and earth stewards break free from the vortex of
overthinking and move forward with their bold, rebellious ideas.
Her work challenges conventional norms, inviting creatives to
explore what’s possible when they release outdated narratives and
embrace their true, authentic expression. Pascale believes that
art is a powerful vehicle for both individual and collective
change when it’s grounded in truth—created outside the rigid
systems that stifle our creative spirit.





About the podcast


Creative minds are the architects of a new world, and their art
holds the keys to reimagining our reality. The challenge is,
creative minds often spend just as much time crafting
self-limiting narratives as they do creating their art. Dear
Creative Mind is a space for creative liberation—a pathway out of
the cycle of overthinking, burnout, and stagnation. This podcast
is for artists & creative entrepreneurs where Pascale,
creativity guide, shares grounding meditations, gentle coaching
guidance and heartfelt conversations with inspiring artists. The
podcast explores the real challenges that come with being
creative—overthinking, self-doubt, burnout—and how to navigate
them while staying true to our vision.
