E204 | Resist Change, Resist Life - Navigating Change in 3 Steps
The world is changing fast, and as artists, we feel it deeply. Whether it’s in your work, your business, or life itself, change can bring fear and uncertainty but it can also open the door to something new. In this episode, I talk about how I handle change when everything feels unsettled: how I ground myself, tune out the noise, and trust the next step even when I can’t see the full path yet.

E203 | How to Protect Your Mental Health as You Grow
Growing as an artist or creative can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. The pressure to keep up, the endless to-do lists, and the feeling that you should always be doing more - it takes a toll. In this episode, I’m joined by LaKisha Mosley, who shares openly about her own experiences with mental health and why she’s so passionate about creating safe spaces where people feel seen and heard. We talk about why rest isn’t indulgent but essential, how boundaries can protect your energy, and why you don’t need fixing - you just need support.

E202 | Don't change for a few, change for you
Whose voice are you really listening to when you create? 👀 Friends, family, strangers and all their opinions can be endless. I’ve been there, making choices based on what others thought was “right” instead of trusting my gut. This week, I’m sharing why following your intuition matters more than chasing trends or bending to advice. And I’ll tell you how my Nanny Dot inspired me to stay true to myself and stop changing for others.

E200 | 200th Special Edition: Why Your Art Matters
This week marks the 200th episode of the podcast - and I just want to start by saying a huge thank you. When I launched this podcast all those years ago, I wasn’t sure if I had enough ideas, let alone another hundred episodes in me. But your support, your listening, and your stories have kept me going and I’m so glad they have. In this special episode, I’m bringing it back to the heart of why I started: your art matters. I’ll be talking about creativity in all its forms, the journey of the last 200 episodes, and what’s next for us as we move into the future together.
Hello! I am Michelle Lloyd founder of United ArtSpace, and I'm bringing you the Your Art Matters Podcast.
I believe there is a place for everyone in the art world, and it is possible at any stage and any age to bring your creative passions alive.
Every week, I will bring you a dose of inspiration, with thought-provoking and motivational conversation, so you can make art you love and turn what you love into a living.
So together, let's get motivated, inspired and make art!
