Oh my goosshhh! That’s a wrap!

I cannot believe it… but there you go.

A year ago, @dominique_falla gave me a little big nudge to actually do a podcast series. The thought had crossed my mind but I was too scared. And I was like, now, who would want to listen to me? But then I thought about all the wonderful people I’ve been chatting with over the years about creativity, multipotentialism and more, and I just had to share!!

So I said to her: “only if you’re going to be on it too” She said yes! LOL. And the rest is ‘history’ as they say haha.

I am so utterly thankful and grateful to ALL my guests on ‘Joke’s Joyful Journey’. You have truly made it a joyous ride and I cannot thank you enough for all the amazing chats, fantastic tips and just overall wonderfulness. You are all rockstars!

For the full series, check out the podcast platforms and thegreennib.nl/podcast.

For every episode, the guest has a quote and I have created a lettering piece for each one. You can find these on my website too as well as here ‘on the gram’.

I will turn these lettering pieces into something even more tangible, but more about that later.

For now: Thank you to all my brilliant guests for being on the show and everybody for listening! I appreciate all of you

I’m still a bit fangirling, hehe. Having the very talented Natalie Brown from Threeologie as a guest on ‘Joke’s Joyful Journey’ is such a treat! What a way to conclude the series!

Natalie has been in the Hand Lettering and Design business full-time for over 7 years now; she helps clients from all over the world and she loves helping other artists to fulfil their full potential as artists, and enabling them to earn a passive income.

Natalie does it all! She is a true unicorn; she sells online courses, creates digital content, paints murals, designs logos and so more!

We had a ton of fun, chatting about learning new things, following your curiosity, using different art mediums, being intrigued by programs and software and what it’s like to learn things by yourself as compared to going to school for the specific education.

In this episode, Natalie describes her process around ideas and all the things she wants to do. She doesn’t get overwhelmed, wow, so it’s extremely insightful to hear her process and how she does the things.

Of course, we also talk about the ‘syndromes’, from Imposter to the fear of not being relevant in the design world. How do art and lettering fit into it? Very, very interesting!

There are so many more cool things we mention in this episode; it was so amazing!

Her quote is also really cool:

“A mind stretched by new experiences can never go back to its old dimensions.”

Check out the episode to hear the full story. Will you tag us when you get creative with the quote?

You can find Natalie as ‘Threeologie’ basically everywhere on the internet, like Instagram (⁠@Threeologie⁠), TikTok and Pinterest. Her website is ⁠threeologie.com⁠ where you can find all the wonderful things.

And to top it off, I can offer a fantastic discount of 75% on her Handlettering Business Bundle!! This comprehensive bundle helps you to monetize your lettering and you get brilliant bonuses! I have taken all her courses, and I can honestly say, it’s the best deal ever! And, at no extra cost to you, as an affiliate, I get a little commission, which is cool too 🙂 So, go to ⁠⁠⁠this link⁠⁠⁠ and grab this incredible bundle and save $300! It provides you with everything you need to learn, grow, and succeed in the industry!

From South Caroline, USA, my lovely friend Karla Fripp is joining ‘Joke’s Joyful Journey’. Karla and I have collaborated on her ⁠‘Meet The Maker’ series⁠ and now I’m thrilled to have her as a guest on the show and work together again.

Karla loves anything creative and she tries out anything she’s interested in; from pottery to block printing. She is an Illustrator and Graphic Designer and also does hand-lettering.

In this episode, we chat about her big, scary and hairy goals, starting many projects and finishing them, multitasking (or not) and what it’s like to get overfocused.

Karla is familiar with having many ideas, getting bored quickly and ‘all the syndromes’. Other topics we touch on are social media, ‘scrolling’ and the creative community.

You can find Karla on Instagram (⁠@karlafrippcreative⁠) and her website (⁠karlafrippcreative.com⁠) where you can find all the amazing things she creates, like her freshly published ⁠‘Working Robots’ Colouring book⁠.

Her quote is so wonderful and we would love to see you get creative with it: “Be positive, patient and persistent”.

Listen to the episode to hear all about it!

Enjoy 🙂

From the Outback in Australia, the wonderful Mixed Media Fine Artist & Creative Coach Tara Leslie is joining this episode of ‘Joke’s Joyful Journey’.

Tara has been creative her whole life, she could draw before she could write, and in her professional career she has dipped her toes in many ponds; from being trained as a Graphic Designer to doing color correcting.

Now she is building her business as a Mixed Media Artist and Creative Coach, helping others to creative unblock and how to create every day.

Tara is such a gentle and creative person and the insights and experiences she shares are just marvellous.

We touch on so many things; what it’s like to build a creative business, being a multipotentialite and having an ADHD brain, how to not burn and wear yourself out, FOMO, systems, what to do with all of your ideas, listening to your gut, Shiny Object and Project Syndrome, (not) finishing things and so much more.

Tara draws several insightful comparisons to help with perspective and learning how to trust yourself, trust the process and build your skills.

We also talk about mental health and creative health, perfectionism, leaning into the uncomfortable, your inner critic and your inner creative child and play as inspiration. Tara gives a sneak preview of her workshops were she goes deeper into all of this.

And, how cool is this, for listeners of ‘Joke’s Joyful Journey’, she has even created freebies to help you begin your journey to creative unblock: ⁠https://www.taraleslie.com/thegreennib⁠. So much goodness!! Juicy stuff right?!

Tara has two quotes she likes to share with you:

– “We can do hard things if we remain gently consistent”

– “Lean into the unfamiliar until it becomes familiar”

You don’t have to choose, you can get creative with both quotes and we would love to see your creations, so make sure to tag us 🙂

You can find Tara on Instagram (⁠@iamtaraleslie⁠) and her website (⁠taraleslie.com⁠), where you can find soo much awesomeness (including the freebies!).

Enjoy!

In our chat on ‘Joke’s Joyful Journey’, we deep dive into the world of lettering, calligraphy, Procreate, the iPad and our nemesis, vectorization.

Rosanna embodies multipotentialism and she loves shiny objects. She talks about her experiences from working in the dental department, working on ceramic teeth to being a mom and a teacher. Thanks to a dear friend of hers, she got back into the lettering game and has been hooked ever since.

We talk about being course collectors (check out her ‘course management’ system!) and eager to start new things, as well as what it’s like to be self-critical and how we spend useless time on worrying.

As she wanted to follow her own progress, she set up her Instagram account, ⁠@Loveletterstudio⁠, where she showcases her fantastic work.

I love the advice Rosanna is giving in this episode and though challenging, her quote is great to take up: “Live in the moment”.

Enjoy!

Please find the transcript here: Rosanna_transcript

Quote – Live in the moment

Do you live in the moment? Or do you tend to overthink things, worrying about the future or other ‘what if’s and buts’? (I wanted to add another t here haha).

This quote is from Joke’s Joyful Journey’s podcast episode with Rosanna from @loveletterstudio_

As many multipassionates do, Ezgi also has goals that change frequently. Her main focus though is to bring joy and motivation to the world. And wow, does she do that!

In this episode, we talk about the infamous question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” (Ezgi has a great alternative question for this one!), problem-solving and finding your purpose.

We get excited about our shared love for notebooks, the Law of Attraction and lettering motivational and encouraging words. Ezgi shares so much about her experiences and has great tips and insights. It has been absolutely marvellous chatting with her and I hope you enjoy this episode too! Will you let us know? That would be great, we would love to hear from you.

We talk about so many things; we go from how she started her apprenticeship with her dad, what it has been like to be a female signwriter and the wonderful world of technology.

Shiny objects and Imposter Syndromes pop by and we think back to the time when there was no internet. Hello, Instagram trap! Liane has juggled it all: motherhood, an ex-husband, work, and the global financial crisis in 2006/2007.

Liane paved the way and is still doing it! Her motto and quote is: “You grow your wings as you fall.” It says it all.

We would love to see your creations! Will you tag us?

There are so many great things that Liane touches upon. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do.

So happy to announce this episode of Joke’s Joyful Journey with the wonderful Watercolor Artist, Educator and friend from India: Shreya Reddy A.K.A. An Artistic Chicken.

Shreya and I have known each other through Instagram and we talk about conventional education vs the arts, painting, getting your mind off of things and using art as meditation. As an artist you have many media, how does Shreya tackle all the ideas she has? We also chat about Imposter Syndrome (we don’t like it!), roadblocks and feeling overwhelmed by everything. Oh yes, and perfectionism!

Her quote is a gentle reminder that we don’t always have to keep pushing through: “It’s okay to give up sometimes”. Please tag us when you get creative with it.

You can find Shreya mostly on Instagram (⁠@anartisticchicken⁠) and Facebook (⁠@ShreyaReddy⁠). Check out her amazing work and if you get the chance, book a workshop with her!

This is one awesome quote by fellow tattoo lover, coach, trainer, multi-passionate and Improv Bianca Simons.

The more you are trying to be someone else, the further away you get from being yourself and the unhappier you will be.

You are unique. Why would you want to be anybody else? Comparison is the thief of joy so embrace who you are and be you! I even have it tattooed on my arm (crazy eh). Be you. Be happy.

This quote is from the podcast episode with @biancasimons.nl Listen to the episode for more good stuff! You can find the episode on the podcast platforms and in my ‘link in bio’.
