Artists are carrying a lot right now. Burnout. Pressure. Perfectionism. The feeling that you have to do business a certain way in order to succeed online.
In this episode of the Made Remarkable podcast, I sit down with artist, teacher, and Create to Breathe founder, Tish Reed, for a deeply honest conversation about creativity, motherhood, mental health, community, teaching art online, and building a business that actually fits your life.
Tish shares how she walked away from art for years after becoming a mother, the depression and creative disconnection that followed, and the powerful moment that brought her back to painting. What started as quietly writing painful thoughts onto a canvas became the foundation for the work she teaches today.
We also talk about:
• Why creative play matters more than perfection
• The difference between selling art and teaching art
• How artists lose themselves trying to create for buyers
• Building a slower, more sustainable teaching business
• Why YouTube is becoming a powerful platform for artists
• The pressure of Instagram and content burnout
• ADHD, motherhood, nervous systems, and creative energy
• Letting your business grow at the pace that works for your real life
• Why Build It Remarkable is more mentorship than “course”
This conversation is for artists, teaching artists, and creative educators who want to build something meaningful without becoming another exhausted content machine online.
You can find Tish Reed at Create to Breathe, on YouTube at Tish Reed Art, and through her beautiful Play-ing Cards designed to help artists reconnect with creative play and presence.
