Honest talk about balancing all the things and still having room for creativity with Mandy Ford.

#002: Margo and Mandy get real and honest when it comes to creativity and finding a balance. Mandy Ford is a licensed illustrator, lettering artist, teacher, and all around creative soul living in Indiana with her husband Dan, twin boys Ben & Landon, and Siamese cat Chloe. She specializes in honest & whimsical artwork that encourages living a life grounded in authenticity.   Some topics discussed include: Being described as an artist at a young age Being your worst critic Finding time and balance to make a career being creative while also managing being a mom and wife Working with an agent Giving yourself permission to learn and experience new hobbies And much more! When she isn’t drawing, Mandy loves to art journal, pay attention to (and be surprised by) nature, and has never met a nap she doesn’t like. She’s currently obsessed with moon phases, the enneagram (she’s a 4), and sending snail mail covered with stickers. Mandy keeps herself running on equal doses of hope and coffee.
