About this listen

 How does one feel into being enough as an artist, and is art itself enough? In this episode, Jennifer sits down with author Stephanie Elizondo Griest to discuss her decade-long global exploration of women artists and the creative life. Stephanie shares the emotional, economic, and spiritual trade-offs she’s made in pursuit of a life devoted entirely to art on a path she calls being an “art monk.” Together, they unpack how capitalism and patriarchy can distort our sense of value, the pressures of conventional success, and the radical act of defining sustainability, fulfillment, and legacy on your own terms. They share tips around grounding practices and community models, as well as powerful reframes around enoughness, sacrifice, and resilience. Whether you're questioning your creative path, feeling torn between stability and passion, or simply seeking permission to honor your calling, this conversation will remind you that your path doesn’t need permission; it needs honoring.
