  • Studio Session with Jenni Stringleman, Amanda Billing and Julie Battisti
    Jan 13 2025

    Today, I’m introducing a new style of episode that I’m calling Studio Sessions. These aren’t the usual interviews you’re used to hearing here. Instead, they’re more laid-back conversations with one or two other artists about art, creativity, life, and how these things combine and collide.

    I’m not entirely sure how often these episodes will happen—it’s a bit of an experiment. They’re d a chance to dig into the raw, real side of the artistic process and chat to past and future guests from the podcast. I’m so excited to see where this new direction takes us!


    Don’t worry—the interview episodes you know and love aren’t going anywhere. I’ve got a whole series planned, and I can’t wait to share what’s coming up this year. But every now and then, you’ll spot a Studio Session in your feed. These episodes will have a blue background and “Studio Session” in the title, so you’ll know when to expect something a little different.


    For today’s Studio Session, I sat down with Amanda Billing—a photographer, actor, and artist—and Jenni Stringleman, a painter. Both are based in Auckland, New Zealand, and we had an honest and wide-ranging conversation about the ups and downs of the creative process. We talked about navigating those tricky in-between times, the moments of doubt, and the sparks of joy that keep us going.

    It’s raw, it’s real, and maybe even a little unpredictable. I hope you enjoy it!

  • Creative Matters Interview with Julie Battisti
    Jan 6 2025


    Happy new year! Welcome back to The Creative Kind, Today’s episode is a little different — instead of interviewing someone else, I’m sharing an interview that I recently did for the wonderful Creative Matters podcast.

    I’ll admit, it feels a bit strange to put myself in the spotlight here, but I think it’s a great opportunity to let you in on some of my personal journey, especially since I’m always asking my guests to do the same! A big thank you to Mandy Jakich interviewing me and allowing me to share it here with you all. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed chatting with her.
