From Trauma to Triumph, Part 2

In Part 2 of this powerful interview, Heather discusses how her past trauma has shaped her life and career as a live wedding painter, and shares her insights on balancing a demanding career with motherhood, as well as the unexpected success of her product, FASTONE.

Heather also offers practical advice for artists on how to manage the high-stress environment of not just live wedding painting – but life, overall – through preparation and self-care. A must listen that goes beyond the art.
