My guest is Amanda Hess, who is a coach for neurodivergent brains.In this episode she provides tips to help manage overwhelm and sooth the nervous system, to improve productivity.She says " I spent years of my life and multiple thousands of dollars trying to “fix” what was “wrong with me”, until I realised that there actually was NOTHING wrong with me. When I started working WITH my brain, everything else in my life just fell into place. Not only did I feel way less stress & anxiety, I also began purposefully creating results that I WANTED in my life." https://amandahess.ca/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theamandahess/ Follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thegitajoshi/Follow me on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thecuratorssalonVisit the websitehttps://www.thecuratorssalon.com/

In this episode I answer a common question from artists which is ' Should I show my art prices on my website?"Sometimes the question arises from a lack of confidence in their pricing, sometimes it is because they see that not all galleries present prices online and it is from here they are taking their lead.Other times there is something else related to mindset that they want to keep hidden.In this episode I discuss mindset and the customer experience that you want to create for your potential clients.https://www.thecuratorssalon.com/for-artistshttps://www.thecuratorssalon.com/show-your-art-membership Follow me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thegitajoshi/Follow me on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@thecuratorssalonVisit the websitehttps://www.thecuratorssalon.com/
