Fear is your friend — with Kate Florence
<p>Befriending fear has been the best decision I ever made. </p><br><p>Today I'm flying solo and sharing the lesson that’s underpinned my creative career. In the last few months, I've made some enormous changes. I left my studio of five years, my community, and the entire foundation my creative practice had come to depend on. A choice to bite into the bitter taste of fear, hoping for something sweeter underneath.</p><br><p>And the result? This year has seen some of my favourite works yet. I faced materials, colours and ideas I’d be avoiding. I started dancing again. I made new friends, embraced more rest, more silence, more intuition. I've been fully present with the process and as I grew and expanded, my art career has too.</p><br><p>The lesson I’ve walked away from this with is that fear is your friend. In facing your fears as an artist, they grow smaller and you grow bigger. Listen to the little voice in your head telling you not to and choose to do it anyway. </p><br><p>If there’s anything you’ve been afraid to face, I hope this week’s episode can be the gentle nudge you needed, and the reminder that the creative life you want often lives on the other side of fear.</p><br><p>Follow the podcast on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nitty_gritty_podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">insta here!</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

All artists are damaged — with Loribelle Spirovski
<p>We’re back for our 5th season, and starting us off is an incredible conversation with Loribelle Spirovski.</p><br><p>Loribelle is a Filipina-Australian artist who, after almost giving up her art career due to a persistent nerve injury, intuitively taught herself to finger paint. What began as an act of perseverance became a technique that liberated her as an artist, ultimately leading to her winning the 2025 Archibald People’s Choice Award.</p><br><p>In this episode, we unpack the romanticism of the ‘damaged artist’ archetype and why safety, not struggle, is where the best work comes from. Plus, we wrestle with the questions artists quietly carry: Does the best work come from suffering? What actually makes art good or bad? Can you fake authenticity? And do creative ideas ever really run out?</p><br><p>For anyone trying to build a sustainable creative practice without burning themselves out along the way, this episode is a reminder that safety might be the key to your best work.</p><br><p>You can find Loribelle’s website <a href="https://loribellespirovski.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> and her Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loribellespirovski/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
