#24 Balancing Art & Life with Kaisa Hart: Creative Practice, Self-Belief & Showing Up as an Artist

Written By Liz Ross

Welcome to Empowering the Artist Within, the podcast that nurtures your creativity, builds your confidence, and reminds you that your art and your story matter. I’m your host, Liz Ross, and today’s conversation is a tender and expansive one with the wonderful artist and community builder, Kasia Hart.

Together we explore what it really looks like to keep showing up for your creativity while navigating the realities of life.

We talk about creative momentum, resistance, and the beauty of being witnessed by someone who just gets it. It’s open, honest, and full of those “me too” moments that make artist friendships so meaningful.

If you’ve ever questioned your pace, your voice, or your place in the creative world, this one’s for you.

 What to Expect:

  • Honest reflections on creative identity and self-doubt

  • The difference between being productive and being present

  • How to keep going when resistance shows up

  • Why community and artist friendships matter so much

  • Thoughts on showing up as yourself

  • Talking about your work, showing your work, and letting it evolve

Key Takeaways:

  • Your art doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful.

  • Artist friendships are medicine - you don’t need to create alone.

  • It’s okay to grow slowly. It’s okay to start again.

  • Your creativity doesn’t disappear - it transforms.

  • Talking about your work helps you understand it.

  • Showing up imperfectly is better than not showing up at all.
