086. Jena Holliday: Rewriting the Starving Artist Narrative

Almost every artist I’ve interviewed on this show has had some variation of the same story: I didn’t think it was possible to make a living doing what I love. Although today’s guest grew up in a creative home, she always viewed art as a hobby – partly because of an offhand comment from a teacher who told her that being an artist wasn’t a career. Today, Jena Holliday is a full-time illustrator, author, and entrepreneur. She’s the visionary behind Spoonful of Faith, a creative haven specializing in illustration, hand-lettering, mural art, innovative marketing, and joyful design. Jena’s work has been featured in Good Morning America, Huffington Post, People, and the isles of Target.Her success is helping rewrite the old “starving artist” narrative and proof that following your passion and building a profitable business is possible.WILDFLOWER SHOWNOTES : shannaskidmore.com/jena-holliday📌 RESOURCES MENTIONED:Happy Planner X Jena HollidayJena on the Jamie Ivey PodcastJena on Good Morning America!Spoonful of Faith BookSacred Creativity: Inspiration to Reclaim the Joy of Your God-Given GiftsWildly Loved - Coloring Book
