21. Minisode: Dream Projects
What would we do with our art if we had infinite time and money? Well-- that's a can of wild and wonderful worms (quite literally, in Marisa's case). But we still somehow managed to fit it our answers into this mini episode for you. Please give us $1Million so we can make a theme park and someone give Nelly Devon's phone number. ASAP.

20. Imposter Syndrome, Mentorship and More with Sabrina Mari
Today we have a special co-host, friend and fellow mentee of Marisa's- Sabrina Mari! Since both Sabrina and Devon have been mentored by Marisa over the years, we thought it would be fun to chat about what they've learned, how they all came together, the importance of mentorship, community and different teaching styles. We love Sabrina for her transparency and realness (she obvi fits right in with the gang here) and we ended up going deep into imposter syndrome, being self-taught, taking long breaks from art and a whole lot more. We think you'll find her and this episode HIGHLY relatable no matter where you are with your practice and career.

16. How To Talk About Your Work + Prep For Studio Visits
"Tell me about your work?" is the most dreaded and opened ended question on the planet, according to most artists. And yet! If you make art you will most definitely be asked it, and a whole lot more in follow up. In fact, once upon a time, Devon had booked a studio visit and had no idea how to prepare, or what the heck she would be asked. So she called up Marisa and got a FULL run down of all the possible things that could happen and what she could say about her work (lucky her). In today's episode, we recreated that prep session for you. You might want to grab a pen and paper to jot down these q's and sentence starters, cause it's basically an entire "tell me about your work" outline, start to finish.

Today's topic is particularly beloved by your hosts: collaboration! (Hey, this show is kinda a collab. Meta right? We talk about that.)

8. How'd You Build That Confidence?
Seeing as self-doubt tends to go hand-in-hand with making art, confidence is often a scary (yet crucial!) topic for us. So today we're digging into it from all angles: the nuance of being confident in some areas but not others, childhood labels, rejection, navigating openings, networking as an introvert, social media, and, most importantly, how to stand behind your work with the confidence it deserves.
