S4/Ep4 Pursuing Art Full-Time, Making Space For Hobbies & Finding Creative Inspiration In Faith Artist Anna Núñez
Calling all creatives 🎨🚨(!!!) Consider this episode your audible permission slip to pursue the creative nudges on your heart (and GET AFTER THEM).
My guest on the show today is Anna Núñez — a Florida-based abstract painter who left behind her personal graphic design business to pursue a more tactile, soulful, and purpose-led life through fine art. In this episode, Anna opens up about her journey from digital work to painting full-time, and how intuition, faith, and a deep desire for creative fulfillment guided her every step of the way.
We cover so many goodies in this convo — from the importance of making space for hobbies, the dance between structure and spontaneity in creativity, what it looks like to trust the slow unfolding of your path (even when it doesn’t all make sense), plus SO much more. If you’ve ever questioned a creative pivot or felt unsure about what’s next with your journey, this conversation is a tender reminder that there’s beauty in the process and purpose in the unknown ✨
