Delores sits down with digital product strategist Eden Fried to demystify Etsy and share why her Go Digital on Etsy Summit has become a hub for creative women.

Eden explains that summits compress months of learning into a few powerful days and that success on Etsy isn’t reserved for a chosen few—it’s accessible to anyone willing to start.

She shares how the summit was born from her own search for clear guidance, why digital products offer unmatched freedom and scalability, and how hearing others’ missteps can inspire action.

You’ll learn why waiting for “perfect” is a trap, how to choose the right sessions, and why digital marketplaces make selling more achievable than ever.

Are you craving more calm and clarity in your creative business?

In this intimate solo episode, Delores invites you into her studio as she maps out the entire year of 2026—and discovers that planning ahead can feel like freedom.

With a mug of coffee and her iPad, she reflects on the lessons she’s learned from last year, the rhythm her programs now have, and how a clear roadmap brings breathing space for art, rest and family.

Delores shares why batching content, building a cadence for her offers (Bloom & Repeat, 5‑Card Challenges, Thrive Sessions and the Template Club), and setting aside time for art licensing and personal projects are giving her peace in the year ahead.

She also opens up about leaving her agent, creating a new portfolio, and getting coaching through Ness’s Art Business Bootcamp to pitch her own art.

Finally, she invites you to start small with your own planning—a free goal planner download is available in the show notes.

Tune in to hear how planning ahead can calm the chaos and help you find joy in your creative process.

If the thought of “new year, new you” leaves you feeling frazzled, this episode is your gentle exhale.

Kaylie and Delores invite you to approach 2026 with spaciousness rather than sprinting, focusing on clarity, soft structure and making room for real life.

From clearing moving boxes and nurturing family routines to batching creative work and leaning on AI assistants, they share what’s actually working for them — and how you can apply it in your own creative practice.

Hear Kaylie explain why she’s prioritising simplification and ease this year,

Delores reflects on the power of pre‑planning and how her AI helper “Piper” helped her translate a chaotic calendar into a doable annual plan.

They also celebrate community wins, from new art businesses to published books, and remind you that simply keeping your creative spark alive is worth honouring.

Key takeaways:

• A “reset” doesn’t mean starting from scratch — it’s about gentle rebalancing and rebuilding after a busy season.
• Clarity and simplification are guiding themes for both hosts in 2026.
• Lean on systems and tools that reduce friction: sticky notes, Airtable, ClickUp, Notion, Google Workspace and AI assistants like Piper or Kaylen.
• Protect creative days and rebuild creative muscles with low‑pressure sessions; progress matters more than perfection.
• Celebrate every win, big or small. Launching a card line, self‑publishing a book or simply keeping your ideas alive all count.

Tune in for a dose of permission to slow down, reset kindly and build momentum from a place of calm.

Artists and creative entrepreneurs can easily feel overwhelmed by marketing advice.

In this episode Delores sits down with Alayna Creative, a Pinterest and marketing strategist, to explore how you can simplify your marketing and harness Pinterest as a visual search engine.

Alayna shares her journey from a finance day job to building her one‑woman creative agency, why she swears by cold pitching, and why focusing on a single goal (rather than doing all the things) will move your art business forward.

You’ll discover how to choose keywords like a customer, how to use Pinterest boards strategically, and a simple 30‑day pin plan that won’t burn you out.

Key Takeaways

· Marketing clarity – start with one clear goal (first sale, licensing deal, Etsy traffic) and let that drive your marketing actions.

· Pinterest is a search engine – think like a customer and use keywords and Pinterest Trends to find what they’re looking for.

· Boards made simple – create boards around your content categories and don’t stress about being perfect.

· 30‑day pin plan – create 10 URLs you want to promote, make three vertical graphics for each, and schedule one pin per day.

· Metrics that matter – track impressions, saves, and outbound clicks monthly to see what’s working, then double down on it.

Tune in to hear Delores and Alayna’s honest chat about staying focused, finding joy in your marketing, and using Pinterest to quietly work in the background while you make art.

It’s that time again—our annual festive fireside catch-up! In this honest, cozy, and occasionally chaotic Christmas special, Kaylie and Delores unwrap the creative year that was 2025.

From flu seasons and house moves to rebrands, launches, tech pivots, school admin meltdowns, and some unexpectedly magical moments—we’re reflecting on what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re leaving behind for good.

We share our biggest lessons, the systems that saved us, the wins (and whinges!) that shaped our year, and what’s bringing us hope for 2026. Plus, a few giggles, a few groans, and a gentle reminder that creativity doesn’t thrive in perfection—it thrives in the messy middle.

🎉 Send us your own creative win from 2025—big or small—for our January “Community Collage” episode!

If you’ve been hearing the buzz about Affinity Designer 3 and wondering what it actually means for your art, your teaching, or your creative business, this solo episode with Delores will help you breathe a little easier—and maybe even get excited.

In this episode, Delores shares her first impressions of Designer 3 on desktop, why she’s still working in Designer 2 on iPad, and how she’s testing her templates and workflows to make sure everything still runs smoothly for her students.

She also talks candidly about the bigger picture: pricing, accessibility, Canva’s involvement, and what this shift might mean for independent artists long term.

You’ll hear about:

• Why Delores believes Affinity Designer is poised to leap ahead of Adobe Illustrator for many artists
• How the one-time purchase model supports creatives who aren’t ready for hefty monthly subscriptions
• What excites her about the Canva + Affinity ecosystem and the idea of a more connected creative workflow
• How the new all-in-one interface (Designer, Photo, Publisher together) can streamline your studio setup
• Reassurance that all her Affinity Designer 2 courses still work beautifully in Designer 3
• Why you don’t need to rush to upgrade—especially if you’re an iPad user
• Real examples of students customising their Affinity workspaces to blend vector, pixel, and layout tools

Have you tried Affinity Designer 3 yet? Delores would love to hear your experience—send her a note on Instagram @deloresart or via the chat on deloresart.ca and you may hear your thoughts woven into a future episode.

If you’re an artist, surface pattern designer, or creative educator wondering how to navigate this next chapter of digital tools, this episode is for you.
