Known for her quirky, joy-filled presence on Instagram and her thriving world of paint classes and festivals, Katie has built something truly unique and now she’s going all in.

We talk about how grief, joy, creativity, and courage can all exist at the same time. We also get into the practical side: how she knew she was ready to leave her job, what her income streams actually look like (hello, classes and festivals), and what she’s focusing on as she steps into this next chapter.
