Most artists quit in the messy middle before they can build their art career. Jodie Gear didn't. She built House of Gear by taking action before she felt ready.

In this episode, I'm talking with Jodie, who went from a corporate career and quiet creative longing to building a full-blown creative space and homewares brand in Australia.

Jodie shares how she learned to claim the identity of "artist, how belief became her turning point, and why she's focused on purpose, flow, and community while building something that's bigger than just selling paintings.

If you've been waiting to feel ready, this is your sign.

You don't need permission. You need intentional action.
