Description

Being a creative and putting your art out into the world can be both exhilarating and terrifying. The Moderately Tortured Artist is a podcast by coach Kimberley Smith that started as a show for musicians and has now taken on a life of its own. It's for any creative who has ever considered giving up. Any artist who has felt it is too hard, encountered too much rejection or feels crippled by their perfectionism. Part pep talk, part permission slip, this show is about helping you remember what matters most. The joy of creating something unique, the self expression and story you share with others and the elation you feel when it all just clicks. Because as tough as it is, we couldn't imagine doing anything else.
