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

In this episode, we’re diving into what it really takes to start chasing your creative dream—whether it’s picking up a paintbrush for the first time or finally turning your passion into a professional art practice.

Ros and Laura share their own stories about how they got started, including the mindset shifts, small steps, and support systems that made it possible. From carving out time for painting as a busy parent to dealing with self-doubt and societal expectations, we unpack what’s truly needed to move forward.

The creative path isn’t always straightforward—there’s often guilt, fear, or uncertainty that comes up when choosing art as a serious pursuit. But by connecting with your values, visualising the life you want to create, and surrounding yourself with the right people, the dream becomes absolutely doable.

This chat is full of practical insights to help you begin—or recommit to—your creative journey in a meaningful way.

We hope that you enjoy the Show!
