Welcome back to another episode of the Paint Rest Repeat Podcast.

After a short break in regular programming, Laura and Ros are back together on the mic—and this week, they’re diving into a powerful topic: how making art can support personal growth and self-development.

Whether you're a hobbyist, emerging artist, or building a full-time creative business, this episode explores how art-making becomes more than just a visual practice—it becomes a journey of inner work, mindset shifts, and transformation.

Ros opens the conversation by tackling the big one: perfectionism. She shares a story about how launching her artist website (before she felt fully “ready”) helped her break through fear and take imperfect but bold action. It’s all about putting yourself out there, even when it feels scary.

Laura reflects on how perfectionism still shows up in her art practice today—but she’s learned to recognise it and move forward anyway. The episode also covers key themes like creative confidence, overcoming self-doubt, and how our early stories around art can impact whether we give ourselves permission to create.

Listen in for relatable stories, inspiring insights, and mindset tools to support your creative journey.
