    About this Episode

    Mansi is a creativity facilitator guiding women to let go fully, to embrace wholeheartedly, to feel deeply and to paint freely. Mansi encourages women to acknowledge the pressures of the day-to-day and say “not now” when they’re creating art. She helps women see themselves in a new light, love themselves for the unique beings they are, and appreciate the perspective they bring to their art as a result of their own life experiences.

    Mansi deeply believes that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness, and creates a safe space for tears, squeals, laughter, anger, frustration and love. She gives women permission to feel it all, so they can express themselves in their art authentically.

    Mansi’s mission is to help women learn to give themselves the same grace and kindness they routinely extend to others; to re-aquaint them with the power that resides within; to equip them with tools to create and live more purposefully; and most of all to rediscover their three-year-old-uninhibited selves.

    Mansi’s work doesn’t follow trends nor can be boxed into a niche. Her free-spirited creations are filled with bright colors, abstract florals and joyful patterns. She believes art has the power to heal humanity, one person at a time, and has been handing out “gratitude tags,” which are essentially mini mixed-media panels, to community members for almost 5 years. These bucket-fillers are the perfect size for artistic experiments and are vehicles of joy, empathy and kindness all rolled into one.

    Ep 162 with Sarah Berry of Sarah Berry & Co the Accidental Entrepreneur

    Dionne Woods talks with Sarah Berry on the Paint Talks Podcast. Sarah is an entrepreneur, CEO, volunteer, and a support staff to her husband’s small business. But those are her official titles. The most important names she goes by are “mom, wife, daughter, sister," and "friend.”

    The most challenging, yet rewarding, capacity she has worked in, (just behind motherhood!), has been that of self-employment. Although she has had an entrepreneurial “spark” most of her life, she officially started her small business journey in January 2014, with absolutely no clue what she was doing! Practically by accident, she turned a recipe of elbow grease, blind faith, and a lot of late-night coffee-infused work sessions, into a thriving creative business.

    Though the roots of her business began with creating handmade goods, encouraging people to finally take action on the little voice that has been nudging them to “do something more,” is what really gets her going! There is a need for what we ALL have to offer, and in helping people bring a little beauty and creativity back into their lives, she hopes to inspire others to finally take the leap on their own dreams! Life it too short and too amazing to let it pass without taking a chance on yourself, and Sarah is like the best biz buddy you never knew you needed....until now!!

    Upcoming Events: Sarah is getting ready to launch a mini course about starting a business from your own kitchen table like she did 10 years ago! You can visit www.SarahBerryandCo.com for more information about how to get signed up. She has also just celebrated recently being published in Better Home and Gardens "Holiday Crafts" magazine for two years running, not to mention her most recent feature in "The Turquois Iris Journal!" So many reasons to celebrate!

    Dionne Woods talks with Brenda Glad on this week’s Paint Talks Podcast. Brenda was born to create art from her heart just for the love and satisfaction she receives. Brenda loves learning and loves to pass it on whenever she can. Behind a camera, at the potter wheel, sewing, refurbishing old treasures, repurposing items giving them new life, making books, journals, and nichos with handmade religious statues and decorations. Through commission work, Brenda refurbished an antique Spanish Galleon model by creating by hand -- missing wooden parts, replacing all the ratlines, matching paints, and antiquing the exterior.
