Ep. 23 How To Claim Your Creative Worth (Beyond the Marketplace)

May 27, 2025

What makes your art matter? In this episode, we challenge the myth that creative worth depends on income, followers, or visibility. Through personal stories, research, and one powerful client case study, you'll uncover why your art already counts—whether or not it’s sold, seen, or shared. This episode includes a four-part framework for claiming your creative worth, as well as an art journal prompt to help you redefine your true definition of success.

In This Episode, You'll Uncover:

  • Why so many creatives feel “not enough” when they’re not monetizing
  • The two false narratives that keep artists stuck
  • How redefining success can revive your joy in making
  • A four-part framework to claim your creative worth
  • A moving story of one artist who reclaimed art as a sanctuary

Journal Prompt Included:
Reimagine success on your own terms—and create an image. Questions for consideration:

  • What messages have you internalized about creative worth? Where did these messages come from—a teacher, a parent, or society itself?
  • What forms of success matter to you the most—that have nothing to do with dollars or views?
  • What would one week of art-for-joy-only look like in your life? How would that be experienced in your physical and emotional bodies?

We’d love to hear your reflections or stories of transformation. Share your thoughts with us  @JodiRose.Studio on IG or Facebook or tag us on social media using #TheiROSEPodcast.
